Created by Giovanni Battista Borra in 1750, this pen and ink drawing provides a detailed view and plan of the magnificent Theatre of Hierapolis. The image showcases an aerial perspective, allowing us to appreciate the grandeur and scale of this Roman amphitheater. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every aspect of the theater to life, from its architectural features to its surrounding landscape. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported to a bygone era where gladiators once entertained crowds with their daring feats. The ruins depicted serve as a reminder of the rich history that lies beneath our feet.
