The Antico Teatro Romano (Italian: Ancient Roman Theatre) was an ancient amphitheatre just outside San Gimignano. During the Renaissance, Ezio followed Jacopo de' Pazzi to the theatre and spied on a Templar meeting.[1]
Database Entry
Inspired by Greek theatres, which had a similar structure, ruins of Ancient Roman theatres can be found throughout the territories once ruled by the Empire.
Typical Roman theatres were constructed of concrete, a material no longer used in Renaissance Italy because the recipe had been lost. Their semicircular design created superior acoustics, allowing spectators to hear the plays, speeches, or choral events performed on stage.
Notice the lack of marble? Renaissance Italians practiced a rudimentary form of recycling when dealing with Roman structures: any marble that could be found was ripped off the buildings to be reused for free.[1]
Trivia
- One of the 20 glyphs left by Subject 16 can be found on the northern wing of seats in the amphitheatre.[1]
- Despite the name, the Theatre is in fact Etruscan. [citation needed]
