The partly submerged Roman theatre of Misenum, linked to the base of the imperial fleet.

The theatre stood in the city of Misenum, base of the Roman fleet in the Tyrrhenian Sea. It was built on the seashore and today is partly submerged because of bradyseism.You can see part of the cavea and a tunnel cut into the tuff that linked the theatre to the harbour. It is in Bacoli, near the Sacellum of the Augustales.
