THE ANCIENT THEATRE OF VERGINA

The ancient theatre of Vergina has been a monument of varying significance since its topography, form and excavation data agree with the historical evidence on the city in a way virtually impressive and mandatory. Its dating to the second half of the 4th century BC, its proximity to the palace and the Agora of Aigai as well as its wall and form all allow the scholar to refer to the dramatic events of Philip II's murder on the basis of the chronological sequence of its monuments.
