Roman Theater, Acropolis Athens (Odeon Herodes Atticus, in Athens) It was built in AD 161 by the Roman citizen Herodes Atticus in memory of his Roman wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped theatre with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof made of expensive cedar of Lebanon timber.
