Q1: Who did the Romans copy the theatre from?
[Answer]

The Romans had many theatres. They were based on the Greek theatre. However, the Romans discovered how to build up tiers of seats and support them on arches, something the Greeks could not do.

As a result, the Romans built theatres right in the middle of their cities.
