🎭How were the ancient Roman Theatres?
Take a look at this 360 image of the Large Theatre of Pompey at Rome!
Roman theatres derive from and are part of the overall evolution of earlier Greek theatres. Indeed, much of the architectural influence on the Romans came from the Greeks, and theatre structural design was no different from other buildings. However, Roman theatres have specific differences, such as generally being built upon their own foundations instead of earthen works or a hillside and being completely enclosed on all sides.
The Large Theatre of Pompey at Rome sat roughly 5,000 spectators and is one of the original permanent stone theatres to stand in Rome. In the Greek style, the tiered seating extends from the orchestra carved out of the hillside. The Roman influence is seen above this gallery where four tiers rested upon an arched corridor.
This 360 image was possible thanks to the stunning 3d model made by L.VII.C available in 3DWarehouse! Check out their roman building’s reconstructions at their amazing projects at their web . Congratulations!
