Public shows and the related facilities from the Roman period on the Northern and North-Eastern coast of the Black Sea

Abstract

In the first centuries AD, Greek colonies scattered along the Black Sea coast were under the influence of the Imperium Romanum. During the Roman period, some of the Greek public buildings, including various theatrical facilities, continued to be in use. Information about such performances is provided in accounts written by ancient authors, through the material acquired during archaeological excavations and by observing the remnants of ancient buildings.
