Theater of Pompey

Theater of Pompey

Theater Built in 55 BC by Pompey the Great

Public works and statues were funded by the rich and influential such as the egotistical Gnaeus Pompey "the Great". Pompey wanted a vast theater than would last the test of time, such as himself. The construction provided use of stone over wood and would be the first permanent Roman theater. It would also serve as the assassination spot of Julius Caesar, as the Senate had been using the theater after a fire required renovations to the Senate house.
