The actors usually spoke in the central part, called logeum, or pulpitum.

There was besides an immense superfluity of rich hangings of cloth of gold; and painted tablets, the most exquisite that could be procured, were disposed all around the pulpitum and scenes579.

To us nothing can seem at first view more ridiculous, and more injurious to theatric illusion, than one person going through a dumb show or pantomime, while another, who must have appeared a supernumerary on the pulpitum, recited, with his arms across, the corresponding verses, in tones of the utmost vehemence and pathos620.

On the proscenium a wooden platform, termed the pulpitum, was raised to the height of five feet610.

The whole space or area behind the pulpitum was called the Scena, because the scenery appropriate to the piece was there exhibited.
