Description
Theatre of Marcellus is perhaps the most ancient theater of which even today's architecture is visible; its construction was begun by Caesar, but finished by Augustus in 11 BC who dedicated it to Marcus Claudius Marcellus, son of his sister Octavia and his designated successor who also gave his daughter Julia in marriage but who died just 19 years.
The theatre was 111 m in diameter and was the largest and most important theatre in Ancient Rome;[2] it could originally hold between 11,000 and 20,000 spectators
Today its ancient edifice in the rione of Sant'Angelo, Rome, once again provides one of the city's many popular spectacles or tourist sites.
