Pompey's Theater
The theatre of Pompey (Teatro di Pompeo) in Rome was build around 55 BC, and was once the world's largest stage. It was also the first permanent (non-wooded) theatre in Rome. Pompey financed this theatre to gain political popularity.
Julius Caesar was killed in the portico attached to Pompey's theater.
The remains of Pompey's theatre can be seen on the Largo di Torre Argentina.
