This is located outside the Mainz - Römishes Theater station - the station platform is right where…read morethe actors and performers would stand. This was once the largest Roman theater north of the alps, with seating capacity for up to 10,000. First uncovered in 1884 during the construction of the South Station, sections were destroyed to make way for train tracks. When they finally realized that they were part of an ancient Roman theater, wartime activities prevented further excavations. Archaeological work only resumed in 1998 with the support of donations, sponsorships, and volunteers from Mainz
