A little bit hidden
After testing the Bocca della Verita, we took the opportunity to continue our walk through Rome. We took the Via Luigi Petroselli and arrived directly at the Theatre of Marcellus.
Unlike the mighty Colosseum, the Theatre of Marcellus remains a bit hidden in the background, ready for those who chose to visit. The theater once had a capacity for over 10,000 spectators and was also once the largest in the city. It was inaugurated by the Emperor Augustus who named it after his nephew Marcellus who died under mysterious circumstances a few years later, but it was actually Julius Caesar who ordered its construction.
