ESSENCE OF THE LUBERON (8 DAYS) |
| From hilltop towns of the Luberon to the herb-scented trails of Mont Ventoux, we savour dramatic vistas and wonderful Provençal hospitality. Discover the Dentelles de Montmirail, the foothills of the Mont Ventoux and the world-famous Côtes de Rhône vineyards of Beaumes-de-Venise, Vacqueyras, Gigondas and Séguret. Vaison-la-Romaine affords us plenty of attractions to tempt during our three days here; the lazy market square, Gallo-Roman remains - including a 6000-seat Roman theatre – the largest archeological site in France and oodles of time to sip refreshing beverages and people-watch.

2000 year old amphitheatre discovered near Tiberias |
A 2000-year-old Roman amphitheatre was finally revealed after 19 years of excavation work since its first discovery. 15 meters bellow ground remnants of a Roman amphitheatre peak through the sand in a place which was "a central meeting point" according to Archeologist, Doctor Valid Atrash, from the Israel Antiquities Authority. The 1990 findings came as a surprise to the archeologists digging near Mount Berniki in the Tiberias hills as there are no references to such a place anywhere in scriptures. Only at the beginning of 2009, 19-years after the primary discovery, did the uncovering of the theatre in its entirety begin.Labels: dig, israel, roman empire, theatre |

Roman Theatre and Early Comedies |
| Poets and playwrights of the early Roman theatre who translated and adapted Greek comedies are credited with their preservation. There were two forms of early Roman theatre – fabula palliata and fabula togata. Fabula Palliata refers to translations and adaptations of Greek plays into Latin, and to the original works of Roman playwrights based upon Greek plays. Wearing pallium (Greek cloaks), the actors performed in plays that appeared to satirize the Greeks. In fact, Rome and its citizens were the objects of the ridicule.
