Nablus (Neapolis) was a prosperous Roman city, with a 2nd-century CE theatre that could seat up to 7,000 people. The project will carry out research, documentation, and excavation of this ancient site in preparation for future conservation. This initiative will also partially restore the ancient theatre to allow for performances to be staged there in the future.
