Figure 5. Calculated reverberation time T30 as a function of frequency in different configurations of Aosta and<br />

Aphrodisias <strong>Odeon</strong>. The parameter values are averaged over all source-receiver positions.<br />

From figure 5, showing T30 as a function of frequency, it is seen that T30 decreases with increasing<br />

frequency in all the Odea in the Roman configuration. For the Odea fully occupied it is seen that<br />

T30 decreases most notably at low and mid frequencies, which is due to the absorption from the<br />

people. For the 4000-8000 Hz frequency bands there is not a big difference between empty and<br />

occupied, and this is due to the air absorption at high frequencies.<br />
