It is not known for sure when the custom emerged, but there are several examples in history: Greek theater performers (circa 550 BC) asked the audience to clap their hands, invoking protective spirits of the Art; in the Roman Empire, between the years 54 and 68, Emperor Nero carried around 5,000 soldiers and knights to applaud the speeches he made. The habit spread and, between the 18th and 19th centuries, almost all theaters in Paris (France) hired people to stand in the audience just applauding.
