Ancient Roman Theater<\/a>
\n“A thriving and diverse form of art which ranged from street performances, acrobatics, and nude dancing to the staging of the situational comedies of Plautus and the elaborately articulated tragedies by Seneca, the theater of Ancient Rome evolved over time. Roman theater and drama did not remain stagnant but went through a whole cycle of development which included three phases: Early Native Italian Drama<\/b> (pre-240 BCE) including such things such as Atellan farces, phlyakes<\/em> and the Fescennine verses, Literary Drama<\/b> (240 BCE \u2013 ca. 100 BCE) featuring the Roman adaptation of Greek plays and a period of Popular Renaissance<\/b> (ca. 100 BCE – 476 CE) where more traditional Roman entertainment such as circuses, spectacles and mime were popular.” Courtesy of TheaterSeat Store.<\/p>\n
