Greek chariot races were held in hippodromes The circus itself consisted of tiers of seats build around a U-shaped arena The 1st circus was the Circus Maximus, supposedly built during the monarchy. Later circuses were often confused with Greek //stadia// The gladiatorial combats were very famous form of entertainment in Italy. The victims were captives taken in the war, eventually it became a custom to give the victim a chance to live by fighting another captive. now we can go to the movies or watch some tv, we could also go to see pro teams witch play in coloseum like domes. there are also still race ways that you canbet on horses or dogs to win mioney. i dont think there was any gambling in ancient roma on the circus maximus.
