• Like the Greeks, the Romans enjoyed plays,
especially ones that were humorous. Most of
the plays were influenced by Greek comedies
and tragedies. Some famous play writers were
Ceneca, Plautus, and Terence. Ceneca wrote
plays about tragedy while Plautus and Terence
wrote humorous plays. Plautus and Terence
usually wrote plays for religious festivals.

The Romans ate three meals during a typical
day. The first meal (breakfast) was called the
"lentaculum." It was usually eaten around
sunrise and consisted of bread and maybe
some fruit. The next meal (lunch) was called the
"prandium". The prandium was a very small
meal eaten around 11 AM. The main meal of
the day was the "cena." It was eaten in the
afternoon.
Clothing
Roman men and women, like other indo-Europeans,
originally seem to have worn a large piece of wool,
wrapped around theselves. After they met people from
Greece and Egypt, around 200BC, they began to wear
linen tunics under their wool robes, which was more
comfortable. On their feet, both men and women wore
leather sandals, or leather boots in cold weather. In
their hair, women wore wooden hairsticksor wooden
combs, which they could use to comb their hair. For
fancy occasions Roman men always continued to wear
their wool robes over their tunics.
