Teatro grande - Pompeya, Italia - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

El Teatro grande fue edificado durante la época samnita, ?aunque fue totalmente reconstruido en el siglo ii a. C., y posteriormente restaurado varias veces. ?En torno a 80 a. C., se efectuaron diversos trabajos coetáneos a la construcción del Teatro pequeño, principalmente en la zona de la cávea, que fue ampliada unos diez metros. En la época de Augusto se realizó una reestructuración total, gracias a las subvenciones de la gens Holconia,? una de las familias más importantes de Pompeya, dedicada al cultivo de la vid.

Los nombres de los benefactores permitieron datar con precisión la fecha de la restauración, probablemente en torno a 2 o 3 a. C. En estos años Marco Holconio Rufo era duoviro de Pompeya, por lo cual se le dedicó una escultura además de un bisellium o lugar reservado en el teatro. La rehabilitación fue encomendada a un liberto llamado Marco Artorio Primo. De hecho, entre los romanos era costumbre encargar los trabajos manuales a dichas clases sociales, ya que no se consideraban como actividades dignas de un hombre libre.? Tras el terremoto de Pompeya de 62 la estructura quedó parcialmente dañada, motivo por el cual la escena debió ser totalmente reconstruida.
