Domus Romana

Peschiera del Garda, Italy

In Peschiera del Garda is possibile to find the rests of a roman village, of the end of the 1st century BC. Scholars think that this area is the “roman victus” of the “Arilica”, that is the boat association which managed the shipyard traffic of the South Lake Garda. The main excavations were between 1974 and 1981, by the regional board of the ministry of cultural heritage and environmental conservation of Veneto.

We stayed here from 8 to 10 November on the occasion of the Verona horse fair which can be reached in 15 minutes and we had a great time. The apartment is very nice and clean and is located 50 meters away. from the square with free parking (pass provided by the owners). It is in the center of Peschiera del Garda, so you can go out on foot to reach nearby bars and restaurants. We will definitely be back! Thanks to Egle for the kind availability.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
