The Théâtres Romains, a Roman theater-odeum-temple complex, is in a park south of the basilica in Lyon.
Lyon's Roman theater is the oldest in France, built by order of Augustus from 17 to 15 BC and expanded during the reign of Hadrian.
The odeum, reserved for musical performances, was once sumptuously decorated. Its orchestra floor still contains mosaics of marble and porphyry.
The third building was a temple dedicated in 160 AD to the goddess Cybele, or Sibella. Only the building's foundations remain.
The Roman theatres were restored in order to receive every year, initially, the Festival of Lyon-Coal-scuttles, and today the Nights of Fourvière. The magic of the spectacle is linked then with the poetry of the place.
The Large Theatre Probably built by Auguste about fifteen years before our era, it would be the oldest building of this kind set up in Gaule. It was then a modest theatre 89 meters in diameter receiving more than 4.500 spectators out of two lines of steps, girded by a covered gantry of which it is little other examples. This gantry was then replaced by a third line of steps.
