 Roman theatre at Orange, France A Roman theatre is a theatre building built by the Romans.
The style of building evolved from the one of the Greek theatres, semicircular in form, although Romans tended not to be as concerned about the location, as the Greeks, being prepared to build walls and terraces instead of looking for a naturally-occurring site.
