The Roman Theater
Guelma
The Roman theatre of Guelma was listed as a national heritage site in 1900. It dates from the end of the 2nd century and the beginning of the 3rd century AD under the reign of the Emperor Septimius Severus. It is a natural pit with a semicircular shape, its sides were leveled and covered with alabaster and cut stones to make terraces and seats, forming the so-called amphitheatre. The amphitheatre is surrounded by a thick, high wall with doors and niches that had statues, according to some historians.
