	Teatro Marcello/Theater of Marcellus
		The theater was formally dedicated in 13 BC in memory of Marcellus, the son of Augustus' sister Octavia.
		Marcellus had died five years before Augustus took up the project, and he was the first of several putative successors that Augustus outlived.
		The theater had the usual shallow stage with an enormous stone scaena (from which comes the modern theatrical term "scenery") rising behind it to at least the height of the top of the cavea.

	Theater of Marcellus, Rome
		The Romans had seen in Greece how theaters with a semicircular auditorium could be built against the slope of a hill, thus avoiding the necessity of a costly building operation to provide support for the tiers of seating, and the same technique could well have been applied in Rome, which had plenty of hills.
		The remains are still impressive, in spite of the fact that the theater was converted into a fortress and residence by the Fabi, Savelli and Orsini families during the Middle Ages.
		In the 16th century, a new palace was built by Baldassare Peruzzi for the Savelli family on the ruins of the theater, but this still preserved the form of the original structure.

		Balbus the Younger dedicated this theater, with the approval of Augustus, in 13 BCE, some time prior to the dedication in the same year of the Theater of Marcellus.
		In fact, with no overt acts of hostility by ruling emperors, the Theater of Balbus was expunged from the physical landscape of Rome by succeeding events.
		By 13 BCE three permanent stone theaters of different sizes -- and probably intended for different types of ludi -- had been constructed in the Campus Martius: the largest was built by Pompey and the other two, smaller in size, were built under the auspices of Augustus.

		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.
		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).
		The Balbus theatre was the third stone theater built in Rome (after the theatres of Pompey and Marcellus, but actually dedicated shortly before the official dedication of the Theater of Marcellus).

		The first Roman emperor Caesar Augustus (reigned 21 BCE-14CE) boasted that he had turned rome from a city of brick inot one of marble, a claim that neatly encapsulated the emperor's desire in the wake of the destructive civil wars of the Late Republic to create an imperial captial worthy of thenew regime.
		The enormaous influence the first emperor had on the built environment of ancient Rome is easiest to see today in such impressive public monuments as the Theater of Marcellus, the Forum of Augustus, or the Altar of Peace, but it is also evident in the city's streets, sewers, and aqueducts, which Augustus repaired and improved.
		Indeed a contemporary of Augustus praised the emperor and his family for surpassing all others in such public munificence.

	Abstract
		This paper examines two projects in Suetonius' list, the theater and the library, and argues that both are to be associated with the Capitoline and were elements in a much larger complex planned by Caesar.
		In 44, Caesar destroyed the temple of Pietas in the Forum Holitorium to make space for this theater, in the area where Augustus would later build the Theater of Marcellus (Cass.
		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.
