The theater, which once hosted gladiator fights, was later used as a religious space after the prohibition of theater following the rise of Christianity. Damaged in the major earthquakes of 358, 362, and 368, the structure was repaired and some of its parts were dismantled for the strengthening of the city walls as İznik's defense.
