The Theater of Marcellus, one of the earliest stone theaters in Rome, was constructed by Augustus and dedicated to the memory of his nephew Marcellus in 13 B.C. The materials are travertine on the exterior, and large tufa blocks and concrete vaults on the interior. It is considered to have influenced the design of the Colosseum. This print shows the plan of the seating zones: annular corridor (C), stairs (E), passageway for the senators (F), orchestra (G), cages of animals destined for spectacle (H).
