Amphitheater

Is there any source for an amphitheater found in Suada? The picture shows clearly not an amphitheater, but rather a small theater or even a curia.

After reviewing the change history of this and the merged Dionysias article, I will revert the description of the picture to "Agora of Dionysias". Still, a source for the claim in the text is missing. Enlil2 (talk) 13:16, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

About climate

Two things:
1. "The average temperature is 15.5 °C." contrasts with the 15.9 °C daily mean temperature given in the table.
2. "This location is classified as BSk by Köppen and Geiger." In my opinion, somewhat strange wording; additionally, the precipitation threshold is 318 mm (15.9 × 20). As there is 364 mm of precipitation in a year, the climate type technically is not semi-arid.

I'm writing this here for further feedback. 109.186.0.66 (talk) 15:38, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple vandalism edits

Could someone please restore the latest revision on 19 October, as all edits after that are only vandalism.

I cannot revert from my current device and probably won't be able to for a while.
