The Cavea There are vomitoria (underseat passageways) providing entry to the cavea There is a portico around the top of the Cavea, featuring marble Corinthian columns. In the middle of the portico there is a temple to Ceres-Augusta.

Three levels of seating: The UPPER LEVEL rests on a massive vaulted sub-structure. The MIDDLE LEVEL is built on an artificial bank. The LOWER LEVEL rests upon a natural bank. (Also VIP seating could be added in the five front rows)
