If anything could break the Roman tradition of temporary theatrical venues, it would be the appeal of Greek Theatre. While theatre was not respectable to the populace, they sure couldn't get enough of it; so it was only a matter of time before the first stone theatre was built. It follows the Greek design, and is decorated with the best artworks of the Republic. However the theatre's main focus is that of a temple, dedicated to Venus Victrix; who probably enjoyed the opening festivities described as "the most gorgeous and magnificent known in the memory of man".
