Panorama di Pompei: storia dello spettacolo e mondo antico

A contextual and multilinear analysis of Pompeii's urban scenery reveals the deep roots of Western European culture, particularly through its buildings devoted to spectacles. The study highlights the Great Theatre, steeped in Hellenistic culture, and the theatrum tectum, likely a gathering place for Silla's settlers and a symbol of distinction. It also examines the amphitheatre as an example of private evergetism during the colonial era and the significant renovation of the Great Theatre by the Holconii under Augustus, reflecting imperial influence through visual imagery.
