The theatron, a component of ancient Greek theaters, could accommodate a significant number of spectators, typically ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 people, depending on the specific theater. The largest theaters, like the Theatre of Epidaurus, could seat around 14,000 spectators. These venues were designed with acoustics in mind, allowing even those seated far from the stage to hear performances clearly.
The original 34 rows of seats at the Theatre in Epidauros was extended by another 21 rows in Roman times. This meant that about 15,000 spectators could be seated in the theatre.
