Many of the art forms and methods used by the Romans – such as high and low relief, free-standing sculpture, bronze casting, vase art, mosaic, cameo, coin art, fine jewelry and metalwork, funerary sculpture, perspective drawing, caricature, genre and portrait painting, landscape painting, architectural sculpture. The Roman theaters we have uncovered generally share the following features: scaena – a roofed house at the back of the stage. scaenae frons – front wall of the scaena that could be up to three stories high and often featured a balcony as well as three doors on the ground level. pulpitum – The actual stage.

The fact that most dramas were connected to key features of Roman life such as worshipping the gods, glorifying one's self, and honoring the dead meant that the dramas likely encouraged the grand displays and expenditures normally associated with these parts of Roman life.
