Aims of the Course	The aim of this course is to provide students with comprehensive knowledge of Roman theater architecture by examining the historical development, architectural characteristics, construction techniques, and functions of theater structures from the Roman period in light of archaeological data. Within this scope, the course aims to evaluate the origins and development of Roman theaters, their relationship with Greek theater architecture, plan types, architectural sections, the facade arrangements of stage buildings, decoration programs, and construction techniques. Furthermore, it is intended to examine the social, cultural, political, and religious functions of theater structures in Roman urban life, the types of performances, and their relationship with imperial ideology. The course also aims to provide a comparative analysis of theater structures built in different regions of the Roman Empire, particularly in Anatolia, to identify regional architectural traditions and local characteristics, thereby enabling students to acquire the skill to analyze theater structures from chronological, typological, architectural, and functional perspectives.
