Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of the architectural design and construction of the grand, ancient theatre built by Pompey in the Campus Martius of Rome. The author utilizes fragments of the ancient Forma Urbis Romae along with archaeological evidence and literary sources to provide a comprehensive description of this remarkable structure and its surrounding buildings. The book explores the theatre's innovative design, examining the use of vaulted substructures and arcuations to support the seating area, a technique later adopted extensively in Roman theatres and amphitheatres. It places the construction within the broader context of Roman architectural practices, comparing it to other theatres and highlighting its significance as an early example of this type of building. Utilizing diverse sources, including inscriptions, sculptures, and architectural remains, the author weaves together a compelling narrative that illuminates not only the physical aspects of the theatre but also its associated rituals, performances, and its wider cultural and social significance. The book's meticulous research and rich historical detail offer fresh insights for scholars and enthusiasts alike. It is a valuable contribution to the understanding of ancient Roman architecture and urbanism, shedding new light on the ingenious construction and lavish appointments of this iconic monument.
