  Lucius Cornelius Balbus (maior) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucius Cornelius Balbus (called Major to distinguish him from his nephew) was born early in the last century BC.
His position as a naturalized foreigner, his influence and his wealth naturally made Balbus many enemies, who in 56 put up a native of Gades to prosecute him for illegally assuming the rights of a Roman citizen, a charge directed against the triumvirs equally with himself.
After Caesar's murder, Balbus seems to have attached himself to Octavian; in 43 or 42 BC he was praetor, and in 40 BC he became the first naturalised Roman citizen to attain the consulship.

The Theater of Balbus was right between the Theater of Marcellus and the Theater of Pompey, and, although it was the smallest of the three theaters in the Campus Martius, it was the richest and most interesting architecturally.
