cavea
Ancient theater stands
Cavea is the seating area in an ancient Roman amphitheater or theater, arranged in curved, rising tiers around the performance space or arena.
The term comes from Latin meaning "hollow place" or "enclosure," reflecting how these sections were carved into hillsides or built up in a bowl shape.
In archaeological and classical studies, cavea often appears in descriptions of venues like the Colosseum: The cavea was divided into sections based on social class.
