The Romans adapted Greek theater, particularly in the forms of tragedy and comedy. They built large amphitheaters, such as the Colosseum, to host performances that included both classical plays and their own original works. The Romans also introduced elements such as elaborate staging, more diverse themes, and the incorporation of pantomime and farce, which further shaped the theatrical experience. This adaptation allowed theater to become a central form of entertainment in Roman culture.
