ResumoThe scaenae frons of the Roman Theater at Messene, which was built in the Flavian dynasty, was not a two storied but a three storied building in the Lotus-acanthus and Corinthian style on the 1st story, and the Lotus-acanthus on the 2nd and the 3rd stories. The Ionic capital probably did not belong to the scene building but to the porticus on the upper cavea. According to the new reconstruction, the height ratio of the 1st story to the 2nd story is ca. 3:2, which is approximately same to the ratio of Vitruvian design.
