14 Ancient Theaters of Greek Roman Antiquity

The remains of ancient Greek and Roman theaters lie scattered around the Mediterranean. The Greek theaters were huge, open-air structures constructed on hill slopes. On the other hand, Roman theaters, although heavily influenced by the Greeks, were built upon their own foundations. Theaters originated in ancient Athens where they were originally used by the Athenians to host festivals honouring Dionysus, the god of fertility and wine. These festivals often featured dramatic performances of tragedy, satyr and comedy plays.
