Theatre of Pompey
The Theatre of Pompey ((ラテン語:Theatrum Pompeii), (イタリア語:Teatro di Pompeo)) was a structure in Ancient Rome built during the later part of the Roman Republican era. It was completed in seven years, and was dedicated early in 55 BC before the structure was fully completed. It was one of the first permanent (non-wooden) theatres in Rome. The building itself was a part of a multi-use complex that included a large quadriporticus directly behind the scaenae frons. Enclosed by the large columned porticos was an expansive garden complex of fountains and statues. Along the stretch of covered arcade were rooms dedicated to the exposition of art and other works collected by Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (English: "Pompey the Great") during his campaigns.
On the opposite end of the garden complex was a curia for political meetings. The senate would often use this building along with a number of temples and halls that satisfied the requirements for their formal meetings. This is infamous as the place of Julius Caesar's murder by the Liberatores of the Roman Senate and elite.
==Origin==
Pompey paid for this theatre to gain political popularity during his second consulship. The theatre was inspired by Pompey's visit in 62 BC to a Greek theatre in Mytilene. Construction began around 61 BC and the theatre was dedicated in 55 BC. It was the largest theatre the Romans had ever built. It retained Pompey's name throughout its active history of more than 600 years.
The construction of this theatre did not meet with universal approval: some sources suggest that the building of a permanent theatre met with criticism on moral grounds.〔http://classics.mit.edu/Tacitus/annals.10.xiv.html Tacitus ''Annals'' 14 (Accessed 24 August 2015)〕
