Remains of Pompley's theater in Largo Argentina? I don't think so...the picture on this page shows one of the Republican temples from much earlier than Pompey...and also, shouldn't this page be titled the Theater of Pompey?--CaesarGJ 06:32, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Theatre is the British spelling of the word. Ω 20:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Theatre is also the correct American spelling as well. Look it up. Also the comment about the Republican Temples being of an earlier period, these were apart of the Theatre complex called the Sacred Area. Pompey said that his orchestra and stage were merely the forecourt of the five temples surmounting the cavea and that the cavea was the stairway up to the temples. The temples were located directly behind the curia. There is much confusion when resaerching these seperatly however in all models and plans found the Sacred Area was apart of the theatre Complex. Pompey needed this to help get past a law that forbid permanent theatres structures. CaesarGJ, have you researched this enough? Amadscientist
I added some stuff today....but forgot to log in. I also uploaded an image from the same source of the existing picture. Added links to Wikipedia page Roman Theatre (structure).Amadscientist
Then I added more images and edited some stuff for clarity. I am currently doing some back resaerch to cite my sources.Amadscientist
I did however make a change to the information about the temples....noting that they are from an earlier period but still generaly associated with the theatre.Amadscientist
