Travel back in time to visit the ancient Roman theatre of Paphos in Cyprus. This app will allow you to explore the theatre, in Virtual Reality, from a number of different vantage points. Imagine what it would have been like to be an actor on that stage, a spectator in the audience or a dancer standing in the orchestra.

The ruins of the theatre in the World Heritage listed site of Nea Paphos have been excavated by the Paphos Theatre Archaeological Project from The University of Sydney in Australia in conjunction with the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus since 1995. Every detail of this model has been researched and is based upon surviving archaeological and architectural evidence from the site and comparisons with other contemporary Roman theatres across the eastern Mediterranean. This app is not just engaging and entertaining, but is a valuable educational tool of great historical significance.
