In Roman times, the theatre had 33 rows of steps and could seat 8000 people.[2] It is as large as the Roman Theatre of Orange, although much less well-preserved.[2]
During the Middle Ages, the theatre was used as a quarry, with the stone pillaged to build the city wall and other buildings.[3] Today, only the stage area, orchestra section, seating rows, and two columns survive.[3]
The Venus of Arles, a famous Roman statue made of marble, was found in pieces at the Roman theatre in 1651.[2]
