	Roman Theatre
		Roman theater existed at least as early as the 2d century BC, but the first permanent Roman playhouse was Pompey's Theater, built in 55 BC.
		Although Roman theater architecture was based on Greek models, the use of the arch enabled the Romans to build immense, freestanding, open-air theaters, many of which seated over 15,000 spectators.
		The auditorium, or cavea, of a typical Roman theater was a semicircle around a smaller semicircular orchestra.

	Didaskalia - Introduction to Roman Stagecraft
		The first permanent stone theater in Rome was built by Pompey the Great, and was inaugurated in 55 BCE.
		Permanent stone theaters were forbidden in the city of Rome itself by the uptight Roman government, so the plays of Plautus and Terence were performed on temporary wooden stages like this one, used for performances at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, CA, October 1994.
		During later imperial times the Romans built many enormous stone theaters all over Europe, North Africa, and the Near East, like this one at Sabratha.

	Leisure and Entertainment
		permanent stone theater was erected by Pompey in 55 BCE (it was during a Senate meeting in the portico of this theater that Caesar was assassinated).
		Odeon was quite similar to a theater in construction but much smaller, generally used for musical performances and literary recitals.
		Originally, all Roman theaters were temporary wooden constructions put up especially for the occasion and dismantled when the festival was over.

	Recreating Pompey for Modern Eyes
		Virtual reality renderings of the theater, acoustical renderings and sight lines, all known textual references, plans of modern structures along with detailed plans of the ancient remains, and digital photographs of all artifacts and remains recovered at the site will be included.
		Cellar rooms under the theater's cavea are accessible from Ristorante Da Pancrazio--the arched barrel vaults of the old theater now make a cool and cozy ceiling for diners enjoying Roman specialties such as roast lamb with potatoes, spaghetti alla carbonara, and ravioli stuffed with artichoke hearts.
		Packer is directing the excavation of the theater as part of a research project begun in 1996 with Richard Beacham of the University of Warwick (U.K.).

	Abstract
		A theater complex stretching from the banks of the Tiber to the slopes of the Capitoline would have been a worthy rival of Pompey's Theater complex in the Campus Martius.
		Perhaps Caesar even intended to trump the temple of Venus Victrix at the summit of Pompey's cavea, by making the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus his own "theater-temple."
		On the first day of his praetorship in 62, he disputed the right of Quintus Lutatius Catulus to rededicate the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, which had been burned in 83 and rededicated in 69 (Suet.

		Regardless of the theater to which Pompey chose to retire to order to rebuild his fortunes, his financial situation would not have changed significantly, since he would retain political control of the other areas.
		The provinces which were controlled by Pompey, Macedonia, Greece, Crete, Asia, Bithynia, Pontus, Cilicia, Cyprus, Syria, Cyrenaica, Africa, and the Spain's, yielded the bulk of the Republic�s tax revenues, some 238 million sestertii, about 68% of annual state income.
		However, the military consequences of a retirement to the Eastern provinces, would be clearly unfavorable, particularly since Caesar would be able to concentrate the bulk of his veteran forces in that theater.

	Largo Argentina_Its Sacred Area
		The Theater of Pompey, much bigger than the earlier wooden ones (or any theater that has ever been built in Rome, for that matter), was designed to last.
		Pompey said that his orchestra and stage were merely the forecourt of the five temples surmounting the cavea and that the cavea was the stairway up to the temples.
		Its huge semi-circular cavea, with seating for 27,000, was at its western end and was surmounted by temples.

	Leaders and Battles: Brutus, Marcus Junius
		As praetor, he entered into a conspiracy against Caesar and upon Caesar's murder on the steps of Pompey's Theater, fled to Athens and became powerful in Macedonia.
		Although his father was slain under orders from Pompey the Great in 77 B.C. during the Sulla prosecution, Brutus allied with Pompey rather than Caesar when the civil war broke out in 49 B.C. After Caesar's victory at Pharsalia, he pardoned Brutus and made him governor of a section of Gaul, and later praetor.
		Brutus regrouped the army and the Second Battle of Philippi was fought, and lost.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Davies, Death and the Emperor
		In their grandest incarnations these commemorative monuments became entire architectural complexes, and this was the intention behind Pompey's triumphal complex on the Campus Martius, dedicated in 55 B.C., where a monumental trophy stood side by side with a stone theater, a huge portico, a Curia, and a Temple to Pompey's guiding goddess,Venus Victrix.
		Standing proud on the northern Campus Martius, the Mausoleum of Augustus relates as closely to these overwhelming monuments to victory as it does to the tradition of Late Republican tombs that it brings to a close.
		At about the ninth hour (approximately 3 P.M.), the strongest of the senators carried it to the Campus Martius where, in a strong wind and driving rain, body and statue were consumed by flames, amid a procession of cavalry and infantry.

	Ancient Roman Mythology
		As Venus Cloacina she had a shrine in the Forum beside the drainage system of the area (called the Cloaca); Pompey dedicated a temple to her as Venus Victrix ("Conqueror") as part of his theater, the first permanent stone theater at Rome (55 B.C.).
		The Roman Underworld - ORCUS [or'kus] was the Roman Underworld, and its ruler was DIS PATER [dis pa'ter], the equivalent of the Greek Pluto, since Dis is a form of dives, "wealthy," and in Greek, "wealth" is ploutos.

	Largo di Torre Argentina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome that hosts four Republican Roman temples, and the reminings of Pompey's Theater.
		Teatro Argentina is a 18th century theater, where Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville debuted in 1816, as well as Giuseppe Verdi's I due Foscari (1844) and La battaglia di Legnano (1849).
		The name of the square comes from the Torre Argentina, which is not related to the South American country, but to the city of Strasbourg, whose original name was Argentoratum.

		These remains are in line with the Porticus of Octaviae and Philippi but not with the Porticus of Pompey which is the orientation the Balbus theater ought to have.
		The edge of the FUR fragment and the orientation of its inscription demonstrate that the orientation of the Theater of Balbus differed from the remains in via di S. Maria de’ Calderari.
		This thesis also fits with the evidence provided by FUR fragment 31ii which can now be joined with the group that shows the fronts of the Porticus Octaviae and Philippi (fig.

		The conspirators, led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius CASSIUS LONGINUS, stabbed him (with a dagger) at a meeting of the Senate in Pompey's theater on Mar. 15 (the Ides of March), 44 BC.
		Tiberius resented his role, and from 6 BC to AD 2 he lived in retirement in Rhodes.

	Cancelleria: The Cancelleria is the modern name for the splendid renaissance Palazzo Raffaele Riario that runs the full length
		The architectural gem of the interior of the palazzo is the "Bramante" courtyard which has three levels of porticoes adorned with 44 fine granite columns which are thought to have been taken from Pompey's hekatostylon, the "hundred-pillared" ambulatory next to his theater, and with more Riario roses.
		The Palazzo della Cancelleria Apostolica, or simply the Cancelleria, is the modern name for the splendid renaissance Palazzo Raffaele Riario that runs the full length of the western side of the broad Piazza della Cancelleria, halfway between the southern end of Piazza Navonna and the northern corner of Camp di Fiori, in the Camp Marzio.
		The Palazzo was built sometime between 1471 and 1484 for Cardinal Raffaele Riario, the nephew of Pope Sixtus IV who reigned during that period, but, unlike many other Roman Palazzi built by papal nephews, it was not build with church funds.

		Domitian (81-96) undertook a major renovation of the Campus Martius which probably included the Balbus complex, for closure of the niches in the external facade, datable to this period, indicate that the crypta at least was already assigned to other functions (possibly as the headquarters of the vigiles).
		Evidence for the continued existence of the Balbus complex in the age of Constantine is provided by the 4th Century Notitia Regionum XIV, which describes noteworthy objects in the fourteen regions of Rome.
