As a sport, it was highly expensive, but organized into a highly profitable business. • Chariot racing was Rome's oldest and most popular game to do to pastime, going back to at least the Roman monarchy.
'public 'leisure activities such as spectacular and circuses, and also with leisure activities in the private sphere including dining and bathing. That division is purely convenient and activities like gambling and feasting as well as the public ramifications of the private pleasures of emperors reveal the difficulties of insisting on a rigid division between public and private.
The Circus Maximus (Latin for greatest circus, in Italian CircoMaximus) is an ancient hippodrome and mass entertainment venue located in Rome. • Situated in the Valley between the Aventine and Palitine Hills the location was first utilised for public games and entertainment by the Etruscan kings of Rome. Certainly, the first games of the Ludi Romani (Roman Games) were staged on the location by Tarquinius Priscus, the first Etruscan ruler of Rome. Somewhat later, the circus was the site of public games and festivals influenced by the Greeks in the 2nd century BC.
