location

The "Redibis" occupies a well-preserved part of the two ambulatories of Mevania Roman theatre which was built in the I century A.D. under Emperor Trajan when many Umbrian towns were given the status of Roman "municipium" and the whole region enjoyed a time of great prosperity. The ambulatory was a broad passageway, some parts of the existing structures used to be the outer walls of tanks holding water which might have been used during some spectacles. Above the ambulatory was the semicircular cavea with a diameter of 90 metres, the tiers of seats faced the stage which was close to the colonnade opening onto what is today the main street of Bevagna.
