Teatro Marcello Info & Opening Hours
Located in the Jewish Ghetto Area in Rome, Teatro di Marcello or Theater of Marcellus, is also known as the Jewish Colosseum for its resemblance to the original Colosseum.
The theater rises on the remains of the ancient Circus Flaminius which origins date back to 221 B.C. This large space was used as a market and for popular assemblies. Several porticoes and temples were built all around the area.
However, during the 1st century A.D the Circus was turned into a huge paved square. Works to built Theater of Marcellus had already started by Julius Caesar and completed in the 17th century B.C., but the dedication occurred only later in the 13th century under Emperor Augustus.

Teatro Marcello Facts & History
The Theater was then named after Marcus Marcellus, Augustus’s nephew and also husband of Augustus’s only daughter, Julia. Although it may sounds pretty strange today, Marcellus was at once Augustus’s nephew and his son in law, and perhaps also the chosen one to rule after his death. However, Marcellus died prematurely at the age of 19. He had been married with Julia only for two years. Read More…
