Above the entrances on either side were the rectangular
areas which had the seats reserved for the honoured guests.
These were called the Tribunals.
These were reached by the small narrow steps at the side,
and separated from the rest of the audience by a sloping wall to the north.
The Kneeling Atlas and Lion’s foot were at the lower end
of this sloping wall on both the West and East sides.
