What did actors in roman theatre wear?
Roman theatre was modelled on Greek theatre. Roman actors wore a pallium (plural pallia), a small cape, slung over their shoulders. This cape was worn in imitation of the himation, a cloak worn by Greek actors. Like Greeks theatre, all actors were males. They also wore a mask. This bought the character's face close to the audience of large open-air theatres. They had intensely exaggerated facial features and expressions. By wearing masks, actors could play several characters without being identified and could play female roles. Various types of masks marked differences in sex, age, and social status. The colours of the pallia also helped to make these distinctions. A purple indicated a rich man, red indicated a poor man, yellow indicated a woman, short tunic indicated a slave, and short cloaks indicated a soldier. A yellow tassel meant the character was a god When playing female roles, the actors donned two wooden props, the "prosterneda" (a wooden plate worn in front of the chest to imitate the breasts) and "progastreda" which imitated a woman's belly. The actors who played in tragedies were more highly regarded that those who played in comedies. They wore boots called cothurnuses that elevated them above the other actors. The actors with comedic roles only wore a thin soled shoe called a sock. Roman comedies which were translations or adaptations of the Greek New Comedy style of Greek comedy were called fabulae palliatae (plural), after the pallium.

What props were used at the globe theatre?
Globe Theatre PropsThe Globe Theatre is not usually associated with the use of props. However many Props and Special Effects were used to enhance the dramatic and visual effects of plays performed at the Globe Theatre. The better the spectacle, the bigger the audiences and the greater the profit - much like the modern theatre we enjoy today. A static location, such as the Globe Theatre, allowed for the storage of props. This was not a practical option for the plays performed by travelling acting troupes at the Inn yards. The building of the first Elizabethan Theatres therefore saw the increase in the number of props used.List of Globe Theatre PropsThe Globe Theatre props would have started with easily moveable objects such as:§ Swords and daggers§ Goblets and plates§ Chairs and stools§ Candles and torches§ Blood soaked handkerchiefs§ Writing materials§ Manuscripts§ Bottles of Wine or ale§ Whips§ Books§ Blankets§ Helmets§ Armor§ False jewels§ Crowns§ Skulls and bones§ Animal furs§ Flags and banners§ Caskets and containers§ Flowers and petalsAs time went by larger objects were used as Globe Theatre Props§ Benches§ Beds§ Thrones§ Cave§ Barrels§ Well§ Tables§ Canon
What are props and how does a man use them with a woman?
The word "props" is short for "properties" and is a theatrical word meaning "objects which you can carry onstage which the actors interact with".

If people are using props in their sex life, they are probably acting out some fantasy.
