Transcription
This hybrid edifice (theatre-amphitheatre) was situated outside the town, in a place known as Grohan. Quadt drew on Belleforest
« Extra oppidum est locus, vulgo dictus Grohan, vbi olim Theatrum, à Romanis exstructum fuisse perhibetur, eius ruinæ apparent adhuc, cum parietinarum & murorum reliquiis ; hoc loco vetera numismata reperiuntur Romanorum imaginibus effigiata. Hæc moles in id à præsidibus provinciarum olim erecta putatur, vt ibi populo ludos & spectacula præberent, simulque gratam Cæsarum memoriam illis redderent. »
