Were actors/actresses famous in Ancient Rome? Would Ancient Romans anticipate a new show much like people today anticipate the newest Tarantino/Leonardo DiCaprio movie?
Also, if I wanted to see one of these shows, could I simply line up, or were tickets super hard to get with a scalper market any everything? Also, we’re autographs a thing???
Thanks!!!
The Roman Gladiators were the celebrities of the time. The colosseum was a used for all sorts of stuff, but the most prominent was the gladiator fights.
I wish I could go more in depth on this, but I'm at work. This link however, goes in depth amazingly
