ROMAN THEATRE (Kom El Deka (كوم الدكة), Alexandria) The small Roman theatre was used for various forms of entertainment. It was constructed in the 4th century and ran until the early 7th century, with a remodeling around 500. Its early use may have been for city council meetings as well as entertainment. Graffiti in the seats from the 6th century shows support for the Blue and Green factions, popular teams of charioteers, though the theatre was not large enough for racing. The exact forms of entertainment at the theatre are unknown, but there is evidence for musical performances and wrestling. After the construction of the academic complex, the theatre may have also hosted academic activities such as public orations and rhetorical speeches. The construction of the theatre is an extended hemicycle with raked auditorium seats. The seats are made of marble recycled from older structures. The walls and vestibule are made of limestone. At its top are a row of unmatched columns, recycled from other structures. [x]

Hi there, thanks for the ask! ḥmt nswt means king's wife so it would not be an appropriate name for a handmaiden. It's a title, not a name. The ancient Egyptian's didn't have last names, it was a case of "[Name], son/daughter of [Name]". Here is a list of given names: [X] and another one [X], many names included the name of a god/goddess and they all have a meaning e.g. Ahmose = born of the god Iah (the moon god). If you need any more help, please let me know!
