Theaters changed over time. They began as temporary wooden structures that could be easily dismantled and moved from place to place. The first permanent theater may have been in Pompeii, the Roman vacation capitol. The first permanent theater in the City of Rome as the Theater of Pompey, made of stone, resembling a highly modified Greek amphitheater. Most of the plays were Latin adaptations of Greek comic playwright Menander. The most popular was Plautus, and, later Terence. Roman Senator/Philosopher Seneca wrote adaptations of the great Greek tragedies during the reigns of Claudius and Nero.
