They didn't have it. Early Celtic peoples had a celebration on the 31st when they thought the veil between the worlds was thin. They would build a big bonfire of many woods, paint their bodies blue, and jump through the flames. They thought it would protect them and bring them luck. Our Halloween comes to us from the European colonist, but it wasn't until the 1950' s that what we do today began to happen.

How did the romans celebrate Halloween?

They didn't. In fact the Romans probably never heard of it unless it was mentioned by some soldier stationed in the far north. Halloween has its roots in an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain. However the Romans did have a festival called Saturnalia which was a complete, crazy, turnabout time when some dressed up in oddball clothing, disguised their faces and played tricks on one another.

Who began the tradition of trick or treating?

Halloween and its traditions originated from the Pagans of England, before the apparent birth of Christ.

However the idea of witches came much later around 45AD from Germany.
