A 2000 year-old marble thrones at the ancient theatre of Amphiareion of Oropos, Greece.

The Amphiareion at Oropos, sanctuary of the hero Amphiaraos, was greatly famed and frequented by pilgrims who went to seek oracular responses and healing.

The largest building in the sanctuary is a stoa (mid-4th Century BC) which served as enkoimeterion for the patients. The sanctuary also contained a theatre. The theatre is dated to the 2nd Century BC, by inscriptions and the seating.
