This 3D model originated in Sketchup 8 and was subsequently transformed into multiple formats. Native format is .skp; the 3dsmax scene was rendered with Vray 3.00 in Max 2016. Merica Roman theater construction dates back to 16-15 C.E., gifted by Marcus Agrippa (son of Emperor Augustus). This corresponds with the founding period of Emerita Augusta, around 1 century ago. Active use of this theatre ceased in the second half of the fourth century, although renovation occurred during I and II AD centuries. Capacity at the peak was about 6,000 spectators seated on semicircular bleachers ("caveas") divided into three distinct sectors: IM A MEDIA SUMMA CAVEA which allocated different social classes during that time frame. In front of sector IMA lay a semicircular "orchestra," purposefully designed for choir performance. The original 60-meter stage was originally constructed of wood and spanned a width of 7 meters, featuring two rows of pillars standing as high as 18 meters and adorned with decorative sculptures atop. On the opposite end behind this stage area exist storage dependencies where actors likely resided alongside beautifully landscaped peristyle along with an imperial shrine dedicated for worship purposes, existing beneath camera height. As history went on and passed centuries its structural remains slowly deteriorated except what stands remain are merely those of elevated galleries known colloquially until excavation in 1910; it then retained only as 'Seven Chairs' or a fragmental structure where the higher parts alone stood.
