Fine reliefs of Dionysius festivities that decorated the stage building of ancient Hellenistic - Roman theatre. Nysa, Turkey. The ornate carvings are preserved in situ and behind bars to prevent looting. The ancient theatre was originally founded during the Hellenistic period and then reconditioned in Roman times. The well preserved cavea of the theatre could accommodate approximately 12000 spectators.
