Το θέατρο του Δίου είναι πολύ κατεστραμμένο εξαιτίας της λιθολόγησής του, ήδη από την αρχαιότητα, καθώς στη ρωμαϊκή περίοδο εγκαταλείφθηκε μετά από την ανέγερση νέου θεάτρου δίπλα στο ιερό του Δία.
Επειδή λοιπόν δεν δέχτηκε ρωμαϊκή ανακαίνιση, η οποία θα κάλυπτε ή θα εξαφάνιζε στοιχεία της ελληνιστικής φάσης, ήρθαν στο φως πολύτιμες πληροφορίες για το μνημείο. #διάζωμα #συνέργειες #πολιτισμός #κοινό_αγαθό

The athletic and theatrical games at Dion, were major events for the Macedonian Kingdom. Archelaus added #lustre to this festival, which lasted nine days in honour of the Nine Pierian Muses. He invited Euripides, who spent his final years in Macedonia, where he wrote the drama Archelaus and the Bacchae. These two plays were almost certainly performed at the theatre of Dion, in the sacred city of the Macedonians. The hellenistic theater is very damaged due to the extensive stone looting, since ancient times, as in the Roman period it was abandoned after the construction of a new theater next to the sanctuary of Zeus. Since it did not receive Roman renovation, which would cover or disappear elements of the Hellenistic phase, valuable information about the monument came to light. #diazoma #synergies #culture #greece
