 | Ephesus Odeon (small theatre) Reviews | 1 - 10 of 16 |  |
The Odeum is the building with the shape of a small theatre with the stage building, seating places and the orchestra. It had a capacity of about 1500 spectators.
It was constructed by Publius Vedius Antoninus in the 2nd century AD.
It had double function in use. First it was used as a Bouleuterion for the meetings of the Boulea or the Senate. The second function was the Odeum as a concert hall for the performances.

 THE ODEON, SMALL THEATER by whitecliff62Leave a Comment Address: THE UPPER AGORA

The Odeon was built in the 2nd C AD by a wealthy Ephesian Publius Vedius Antonius and his wife Flavia Papiana according to an excavated plaque and served initially as the meeting place for the upper political council which governed Ephesus, the Bouleia or Senate. This was the aristocratic governing body and discussed the matters of greatest importance here. As years passed, it also came to be used for concerts and art events, hence the name. It is one of the highlights of Ephesus.
The Odeon is set into a hillside and constructed of marble. It seats approximately 1500 in 23 rows divided into two sections vertically with larger seats nearer the stage. The difference in the quality of the marble used for the two sections of seats is clearly visible in the images. It was probably roofed as there are no gutters around the stage for rain water. The stage building was presumably contructed of wood and at least two levels high. Leave a Comment

The Odeion seated an audience of 1450 and was enclosed. Since the podium next to the orchestra and the stage section do not conform to the style of a typical Roman theatre, the structure was most likely used primarly as a meeting hall for the Municipal Council. The location of government structures alongside strengthens this view. Leave a Comment

 The Odeon by Paul2001
The Odeon was used for state assemblies and for small theatre productions. Apparently it was completely enclosed and sat over 1450 persons.
I hit the Odeon at the height of the tourist traffic. It was teaming with tour groups who were constantly getting the way of photo shots. Leave a Comment

The Odeion (Bauleuterion) - The theatre has a semicircle shaped with a sunken semi circular stage. It can hold approximately 1,500 audiences.
The theatre has two functions, the Odeion served as a small theatre and the Bauleuterion as a meeting place for the city council chambers.
Rich Roman citizens by the name of Publius Vedius Antonius and his wife Flavia Papiane gave instruction to build the Odeion in 150AD.
