The Theatre of Marcellus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Theatre of Marcellus is a perfect example of the changing tastes of Rome in the late Republic. As plays became more popular, permanent structures were built, in this case in the Campus Martius on the banks of the Tiber River. Parts of it still stand today and is a reminder of Augustan building projects throughout the empire. Guest: Dr Rhiannon Evans
The Baths of Diocletian (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Baths of Diocletian was a huge imperial public building, built on the scale that Rome rarely saw during the early years of the fourth century. Designed to outshine previous public bath projects, we can still get a sense of the grandeur today, repurposed into a church designed by Michaelangelo. Guest: Professor Caillan Davenport (Head of the Centre for Classical Studies, Australian National University)
