in theatro

In  this story all the Pompeiians are resting, neither the masters or the servants are at work. Many of the Pompeiians go  to the theater on this day. In the theater the people await Actius and when he finally comes on to the stage they praise him. Then, suddenly they hear a servant yell saying that he is a great tightrope walker. The Pompeiians no longer care about Actius because all their attention is on the servant. Actius is not mad though because he is also paying attention to the servant.
