Theatre of Pompey
The Theatre of Pompey was the first permanent stone theatre in Rome, completed in 55 BC as a vast complex combining a semicircular auditorium with a long enclosed quadriporticus and temple. The complex contained covered porticos, galleries, a curia, a stage building and an inner garden with fountains and statues. Its footprint later became built over; in antiquity it functioned as a major performance, social and political centre.

As it stood in 55 BC
The shape it held in its prime.
A vast semicircular stone auditorium (cavea) set against a long rectangular quadriporticus and temple complex. The curved outer façade shows stacked arcades of travertine arches; inside are tiered stone seating facing a high scaena with columned stage front and a flat-roofed temple block at the top. The quadriporticus surrounds a formal garden with paved walkways, small decorative fountains and colonnaded galleries; terracotta roof tiles cap the stage and temple blocks.
