Designed as a stone amphitheater, it originally featured a wooden roof and seated around 5,000 spectators. It hosted music concerts, orations, and theatrical performances in the Roman tradition. After centuries of abandonment, it was excavated and restored in the mid-20th century and continues to serve as one of the world’s most iconic open-air performance venues, especially during the Athens Festival.\u003cbr\u003eAdjacent to the theater lies the Portico of Eumenes, a long covered walkway (stoa) built in the 2nd century BC by Eumenes II of Pergamon. This stoa provided shade and shelter for those attending performances and linked the Theater of Dionysus with the Odeon above. Together, these structures reflect Athens' enduring legacy as a cultural and civic capital from antiquity to the present day.\u003cbr\u003eFront Text:\u003cbr\u003e\"ATHÈNES. – Acropole. – Odéon d’Hérode Atticus et Portique d’Eumène\"\u003cbr\u003e\"ATHENS. – Acropolis. – Theater of Herode Atticus and Portico of Eumen.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"ΑΘΗΝΑΙ. – Ακρόπολις. – Ωδείον Ηρώδου του Αττικού.\"\u003cbr\u003eReverse Imprint:\u003cbr\u003e\"ΕΛΛΑΣ – GRÈCE – ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΙΚΟΝ ΔΕΛΤΑΡΙΟΝ – CARTE POSTALE\"\u003cbr\u003eSize ±: 14 cm x 9 cm\u003cbr\u003ePlease review the images as part of the description.\u003cbr\u003eAuthenticity is guaranteed!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZipZappa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55353514393978,"sku":"POS748-","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/8524\/5719\/files\/athens-greece-acropolis-theater-of-herode-atticus-and-portico-of-eumenes-postcard-1595581.jpg?v=1751898902","url":"https:\/\/www.zipzappa.com\/ru\/products\/athens-greece-acropolis-theater-of-herode-atticus-and-portico-of-eumenes-postcard","provider":"ZipZappa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
