  The Teatro di Marcello, or Marcellus Theatre, is an ancient Roman theater located in Rome, built between 13 and 11 BCE during the reign of Emperor Augustus in honor of his nephew, Marcellus. Designed to host dramatic performances, it could accommodate approximately 20,000 spectators, making it one of the largest theaters of its time. Its architecture was inspired by earlier Greek theaters, featuring a semi-circular design with a marble façade and three tiers of seats. Over the centuries, the theater fell into disrepair and was eventually repurposed for various uses, including residential housing in the Middle Ages, which led to significant alterations. Today, the Teatro di Marcello stands as a remarkable example of Roman engineering and continues to be an important archaeological and historical site.
