The front of the stage (scaenae frons) of the Roman theatre of Augusta Emerita (modern-day Mérida in Spain) is the most oustanding feature of the building. It consists of a high podium 2.60 metres (8.5 feet) high with Corinthian columns almost 13 metres (42 feet) high. In between the columns were statues of heroic emperors or gods from the classic pantheon (Ceres, Pluto and Proserpina).
