In studying theater history, it is helpful to have online resources to enhance your understanding of the relationship between theater and culture during each historical period. The following links provide more information about the Greek and Roman period discussed in this chapter.

After browsing these resources, develop a bibliography of sites that you could use if you were a scenic designer doing research for a historical replication of a production of The Menaechmi. Consider the historical context, art, architecture, analysis of the play, acting conventions, and performance spaces.
