Volterra - Roman Theater
At one point, the Romans would only allow the theaters to be build in wood so that the wealthy patrons wouldn't create a self edifying establishment. However, a loop hole was found. Temples had to be made in stone. So by placing statues of at least one God in the theater, cities/patrons were able to build the theaters in stone.
