Theatre on Water: Aquatic performances in theatres of the Roman Empire, the archaeological evidence and cultural contexts

该提案考虑了罗马剧院的水上表演。虽然使用罗马圆形剧场进行水上表演是众所周知的，但很少有学者给予水上戏剧表演关注。这个项目将更全面地定义在剧院里表演的表演类型，与社会期望和帝国戏剧的重点有关，并将更仔细地研究考古证据，以了解这些水设施是如何供应的。它将侧重于他们的建筑方面和他们的文化传统和影响，并将试图更好地了解他们在意大利的起源和在罗马帝国的时间顺序传播。

The proposal considers water performances in Roman theatres. While the use of Roman amphitheatres for water displays is well known, few scholars have given aquatic theatre shows attention. This project will define more fully what kind of shows were performed in theatres, in relation to social expectations and emphases in imperial drama, and will examine the archaeological evidence more closely to see how these water installations were supplied. It will focus on both their architectural aspects and their cultural traditions and influences, and will try to understand better their origins in Italy and chronological diffusion across the Roman empire.
