This at first seems surprising since in our area virtually all caveae face either north or northwest, but as the excavator of the site has pointed out, Jericho served as a winter resort—with its cavea facing southward, the theatre could offer spectators a welcome exposure to the rays of the winter sun.",

"text": "From the later fourth century onward the construction of large koila, or caveae, required much more time and money than did that of the skene, which in Greek theatres always remained relatively modest in scale. Thus the term ‘theatre’ (theatron), which had originally denoted only the spectator area, came to be used of the whole complex of koilon (or cavea), orchestra, and skene.",

"text": "Such a drastic measure as the desecration of a functioning temple and conversion to profane use are almost unimaginable. It does not help to point out parallels with the well-known terrace sanctuaries of Latium in the Late Republic (Praeneste, Gabii, Tivoli, Terracina). There the caveas are employed in a different manner. They represent subordinate elements of the complexes and are positioned in front of the cella, on the axis of the entrance. A cavea on the inside would have been a sacrilegious infringement on the space of the divinity, besides lacking an obvious function, since, as is well known, congregations of ancient cults met and celebrated in the open around the altar in the courtyard.",

It does not help to point out parallels with the well-known terrace sanctuaries of Latium in the Late Republic (Praeneste, Gabii, Tivoli, Terracina). There the caveas are employed in a different manner. They represent subordinate elements of the complexes and are positioned in front of the cella, on the axis of the entrance. A cavea on the inside would have been a sacrilegious infringement on the space of the divinity, besides lacking an obvious function, since, as is well known, congregations of ancient cults met and celebrated in the open around the altar in the courtyard.",
