The right side and center is for water entering the building, while the left side is designed for water leaving the building. In another post we want to discuss further the water situation at Laodicea.
In our articles/photos posted on the Seven Churches of Rev. 2-3, we have repeatedly seen evidence of temples devoted to various pagan gods. It is difficult to overstate how widespread and pervasive idolatry was in the biblical world, in both Old Testament as well as New Testament times. At Laodicea one can see the remains of a temple, known as Temple A, located on the north side of the city.

Of course, every city of significance had a theater. Pictured here is the Hellenistic theater, located on the west side of the city.
