Roman theatre (structure)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Roman theatre is a theatre building built by the Romans for watching theatrical performances.
The Roman style of theatre building evolved from the Greek theatres: they were semicircular in form. However, while the Greek built their theatres in natural amphitheatres, Romans tended to construct artificial walls and terraces.
