The Odeon is located in the modern French city of Lyon, known during the Roman era as Lugdunum. Archaeologists believe it was built during the reign of Trajan or Hadrian around 100 CE. It is a small theater with about a 3,000 person capacity and was often confused with the amphitheater of the Three Gauls which archaeologists were attempting to find. The Odeon was excavated and restored multiple times, once between 1941 and 1946, and again from 1953 to 1958, and surveys were completed around it in 1991, 1994, and 2002. It is built of several different materials, including colored stones and granite imported from Egypt and several different shades of marble.
