Archaeologists unearth millennia-old lecture hall from 'impressive' ancient high school
Fox News
The Free University of Berlin announced the discovery of an ancient Greek lecture hall in Agrigento, Italy, revealing similarities between ancient and modern schooling.
Agrigento was founded in 580 B.C. as the largest Greek colony in Sicily. The settlement boasted both a high school and a grammar school – yet the lecture hall of the complex was only unearthed this past March.

University officials described the hall as "a small covered theater that could accommodate around 200 people on eight rising, semicircular rows of seats," said a statement translated from German to English.
