Artists Impression of the Roman Theatre of Verulamium circa AD 180, by Alan Sorrell... The Roman Theatre of Verulamium is unique. Built in about 140AD it is the only example of its kind in Britain, being a theatre with a stage rather than an Amphitheatre. Initially, the arena would have been used for anything from religious processions and dancing, to wrestling, armed combat and wild beast shows. From about 180AD the stage came into greater use and the auditorium was extended. By about 300AD, after some redevelopment work, the Theatre could seat 2000 spectators... Gorhambury Estate is located near St Albans, Hertfordshire, England and includes Old Gorhambury House, built in 1563-8 by Sir Nicholas Bacon, Gorhambury House, built in 1777-84, and Roman Theatre of Verulamium
