Roman gymnasium, Syracuse

It is a monumental complex dating back to the second half of the XNUMXst century AD which includes a small theatre, surrounded on three sides by a portico, and a temple. 

A good part of the portico is now illegible while the cavea of ​​the theater remains visible, with all the charm of the bradyseism that has invaded the scene. In front of the latter, in the center of the portico, there was a small peripteral temple raised on a high podium. It is probable that it was dedicated to oriental mystery cults.”
