  Theatre
     only mentioned in Acts 19:29, 31. The ruins of this theatre at
     Ephesus still exist, and they show that it was a magnificent
     structure, capable of accommodating some 56,700 persons. It was
     the largest structure of the kind that ever existed. Theatres,
     as places of amusement, were unknown to the Jews.
