Description: The Small theatre of Ambracia is the smallest of all ancient Greek theatres uncovered to date. It is located at the centre of the ancient city, near St. Constantine, in some distance from the late archaic temple of Apollo. Because of its overall architectural style, it is dated between the late fourth - early third century BC, during the reign of Pyrrhus. Being at the time the capital of the kingdom, the town flourished; apart from the small theatre, a large theatre was built near Apollo's temple, as well as a prytaneio (building for the reunions of prytaneis, i.e. similar to judicial authorities), which was found next to the temple.
