Definition Pulpitum South Wall
Description The southern wall of the pulpitum (proscenium) is approximately 0.90 m wide at its greatest extent. It is built in an eclectic technique, with a hodge-podge of materials, including small sandstone clocks, diagonally dressed blocks, and huge limestone ashlars. In some places it is preserved to three courses, in some places only two, in some places three courses and two are of equal height. Several blocks appear reused—the limestone pieces, for instance, may be reused arch or entablature blocks. In general, the pulpitum wall is not as well-built as comparable the Theatron features, such as the Orchestra wall (see above).These factors, together with the observation that the limestone curbs which separate the orchestra floor from the adytus maximus floors (see Locus 17, above) extend underneath the pulpitum wall and are abutted by the pulpitum foundations, have prompted the excavator to date the extant pulpitum installation later than the Theatron to the south.
