Theater
Theater in ancient Rome would range from festivals, nude dancing, and acrobatics. Theater for Romans at the time was for honoring the gods on religious days. But since there were “over 200 religious days every year,” according to Rome.mrdonn.org, you could watch a performance almost every day!
Theater was first recorded in Rome around 300-400 BC along with a performance by Etruscans. The actors did get paid though. Since they got paid, wealthy nobles would typically pay for the actor's wage and the regular fees for the play.
Did you know that to enlarge realness when a character died in a performance, they would have a slave play that part and actually kill them?

Geography
Ancient Rome was located on the far West side of the Italian Peninsula. Did you know that the Italian Peninsula is shaped like a leg with a cowboy boot on it?
Most of the land in Rome has mountains. Of the land that doesn’t have mountains, a lot of it has hills. People have built cities on top of these hills for protection against their rivals.
However, there are also several rivers throughout Italy. Romans would build next to the rivers for the plentiful water supply.
Rome’s climate was warm and humid, which made for good farming, but then around the 200’s AD, the weather got cooler. The change in weather made it harder to heat houses and farm and eventually forced the Romans to move south.
Religion
The ancient Romans has had a polytheistic religion from the beginning. Mars, the god of war, was supposedly the father of Romulus and Remus. Then there was Quirinus, who was the deceased Romulus, watched over the city of Rome, and also Jupiter, the king of gods.
Politics
Ancient Rome was split between two parts, the patricians, the rich and wealthy, and the plebeians. The patricians would put a lot of time into education and buy meat and expensive food, while the plebeians would just learn how to read and write and eat their own crops as they couldn’t afford
