An itinerary among ancient works of art illustrating scenes, actors, dramatists, characters of the most important plays, and the audience

The book, edited by one of the most renowned scholars of theatre and performance history, collects essays by experts and critical comments on the illustrated works, offering new interpretations on theatre, an art which played a relevant role in everyday life in Ancient Rome for its social, economical and political significance.
The catalogue is divided in sections analyzing: the genesis of different dramatic forms (Etrurian-Italic origins and the Games, Ellenistic theatre, its relations with literature and religion); actors and techniques, (with a sociological survey on roles, costumes, masks and the importance of musical accompaniment); dramatic models between tragedy and comedy; the locations (from wooden theatres to stone theatres); the audience between booing and applause, until the coming of Christianity
