Drama and Power in Rome from Augustus to Marcus Aurelius (first – second centuries AD)

Résumé

The chapter explores the corresponding evolution of ludi scaenici as their management shifted from the senatorial aristocracy to imperial control. While some cultural elites of Rome in the first and second centuries CE expressed distaste for what they regarded as baser forms of theatrical entertainment, emperors largely catered to popular tastes. To do so, they exerted control over the genres that were performed and at the same time regulated seating arrangements that would reinforce social hierarchies among Romans and between Romans and foreigners.
