The Theatre of Pompey


Rome didn’t get a permanent theatre until the late republic, but when they finally did it impressed all who saw it. The theatre of Pompey stood in the campus martias and entertained Romans for hundreds of years, ensuring the name of Pompeius Magnus was known by all. Oh, and Julius Caesar was killed there. Guest: Associate Professor Rhiannon Evans (Classics and Ancient History, La Trobe University)
