Talk:Roman theatre (structure)

message: There are some very specific differences between Greek and Roman theatres that are still not listed here. For instance, in a typical Greek theatre, the orchestra was perfectly round, not semi-circular (many of these theatres were later modified in the Roman way, and few survive in their original form). But I don't remember all of the differences off the top of my head. There's a bit with how the skene evolved into the proscenium, I don't exactly remember how it goes. I think the proscenium was the front side of the skene, which in Roman theatres evolved into the "back wall" of the acting area, but I'm not entirely sure. I'll try and look it up in the near future. --Woggly 08:54, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

:I agree with this format. It's similar to the one for the List of Roman amphitheatres. I would also suggest splitting it off into its own page, like that one. Thoughts? Eponymous-Archon (talk) 14:16, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

message: It's a fragment, and needs a rewrite. The lead paragraph should summarize the main points presented by the sections, briefly. --Lexein (talk) 20:29, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Physkos also known as Marmaris has a roman theatre. 
I've seen it, and it looks a bit to slick to be from the Roman ages.
Can somebody verify it and add it to the list if he/she knows it's real Roman?86.91.41.128 (talk) 16:33, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

message: *Proposed to Merge List of Roman theatres into Roman theatre (structure) (ie just put the list below the article). The first of what is intended to be a series of proposals to reduce the very bad habit that has grown up in this area of separating short articles and fairly short lists. Here the article is only 6.2 kbytes and the list 33 kb. It is unencyclopedic to keep them apart - readers of each should see both. Outside the table the list article has only a one-line introduction (which manages to include two spellings of "theatre/theater").  In cases where the combined length would be excessive (eg Greek temple and the matching list) there is sense in this approach (with a proper introduction) but not here. Please comment at Talk:List of Roman theatres, not here.  Johnbod (talk) 14:05, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

message: " The Roman theatre of Orange in modern Orange, France, is a good example of a classic Roman theatre, with an indented scaenae frons, reminiscent of Western Roman theatre designs, however stripped of its ornamental stone columns, statues and [4]"
And what? I can't seem to find when this last word was edited out. 79.33.115.167 (talk) 20:33, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
