GRUMENTUM (Grumento) Lucania, Italy.

In the upper valley of the Acris (Agri), the city is known to history as the scene of actions during the second Punic war and social war. The theater was excavated in 1956-57 and restored in 1964-67. The cavea dates from the 1st c. A.D.; the scene building was constructed in the 2d c. and was rebuilt in the 4th c. The theater is located between two major N-S streets, which have been exposed by excavation.
