"Like many ancient Greek theaters, the theater at Pergamon is an acoustic marvel: An actor (or tourist) speaking normally on the stage can be heard even at the top of the cavea (seating structure)."

Probably the best acoustics of any amphitheater!

Snakes, the symbol for Aesklepios, ornament a marble altar. In the ancient world, snakes symbolized healing and life-renewal. The caduceus was adopted as a symbol of the medical profession because of its similarity with the serpent entwined staff of Aesklepios. IIRC, there is more than one example in situ.
