The Cyrene Amphitheatre was erected in the Sanctuary of Apollo at the extreme western side of the Terrace of Myrtousa by the Greek settlers of Cyrene in the 6th century BC.
The Cyrene Amphitheatre was built in six different periods, including reconstruction during the Roman Age as late as the 2nd Century A.D. Externally it had semicircular shape and held rows of seats, cuts in the cliff around the semicircular orchestra that had a diameter of over 100 feet or 30 meters.
The Cyrene Amphitheatre will be conserved completely in a scientific manner according the Burra and Venice Charters and without the use of cement and steel which plagues the rest of Cyrene from previous restorations before the advent of modern scientific preservation techniques.
Cyrene was founded in c.630 BCE as a colony of the Greek island town Thera, which had become (or was perceived to be) too crowded.
During Battus' reign, Cyrene was a very wealthy town, which exported wheat, barley and olive oil, and monopolized the trade in sylphium, an unidentified plant with aromatic and medicinal properties.
From Cyrene, the cult spread to the Greek mainland, and was especially propagated by the famous poet Pindar (522-445).
