The Teatro Romano in Teano is the ancient Roman theatre of the town, located in the province of Caserta, Campania, about 30 kilometres northwest of Caserta on the main line from Naples to Rome. Teano sits at the southeast foot of the extinct volcano Rocca Monfina. The theatre itself dates from the Roman period, though specific dimensions, builders and precise construction date are not recorded in the available notes. Its remains offer a tangible link to the town’s classical past, complementing Teano’s other historic sites such as St. Clement’s cathedral, which has been the seat of the Diocese of Teano-Calvi since around AD 300. The theatre is a quiet, evocative fragment of the ancient landscape, now part of the town’s layered history.
