Pompey's Games (dedication of his theatre, 55 BC)
Pompey's games
The lavish games marking the dedication of Pompey's stone theatre in the Campus Martius, late September 55 BC: stage plays under Sp. Maecius Tarpa's curation, gladiators, two five-day venationes, ending with the famous slaughter of elephants whose distress drew the crowd's pity.
