Subject Source: Art & Architecture Thesaurus
Scope Note: Raised platforms for speakers or conductors; may be indoors or outdoors, often narrower than the width of the immediate space upon which they rest. Specifically may refer to raised platforms surrounding the arena below the tiers in an ancient amphitheatre, which provided protection for the spectators and seating for the emperor and other high-ranking officials. For raised indoor platforms set at the ends of large rooms as a place of honor or prominence, as for speakers, officers, or dignitaries, see "daises."
