The Roman plays were watched mostly by the educated elites. These consisted of patricians and rich plebeians who had been raised to the rank of equite (cavalryman) which was the second highest social order in Roman society. It cannot be ruled out that plebeians of middling income also watched the plays.

There was also a genre of lewd plays. Unlike the other genres where only men acted and also played female roles, this genre also had actresses. It included sexual themes and sex actually being performed on stage. It is likely that this kind of genre attracted people from all walks of life.
