Theatre of Pompey

The Theatre of Pompey is the site of the late dictator Julius Caesar's assassination.

History
On March 15, the day known as the Ides of March, 44 BC, the Senate, led by Brutus and Cassius, conspired against Caesar and killed him at the Theatre of Pompey. Prior to his murder, Marcus Antonius attempted to warn Caesar of the Senators' plot, but was intercepted by Trebonius, who kept Marcus outside of the theatre.

Behind the scenes

 * The Theatre of Pompey was a structure in Ancient Rome built during the latter part of the Roman Republican era: completed in 55 BC. Along the stretch of the covered arcade were rooms dedicated to the exposition of art and other works collected by Pompey the Great during his campaigns.
