Commonly used to denote the large foyers basilicas that flank the stage but strictly speaking versurae refer to the entrances themselves.

Greek and Roman stage directions indicate that the right entrance was to or from the forum or city and the left entrance was to or from the country or foreign locations. Vitruvius."" (English)
