They didn't. In fact the Romans probably never heard of it unless it was mentioned by some soldier stationed in the far north. Halloween has its roots in an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain. However the Romans did have a festival called Saturnalia which was a complete, crazy, turnabout time when some dressed up in oddball clothing, disguised their faces and played tricks on one another.
