EntertainmentRepublic



Daily life in the republic was not all boring some things were fun and interesting. The were many things going on in the Roman republic It was not just working and or going to school. The most famous form of entertainment in the Roman republic was chariot racing. The chariot racing was held in or around circuses. (http://library.thinkquest.org/26602/entertainment.htm) Circus games brought in hundreds of thousands of people. These hundreds of thousands of people were know as the mob. The circus Arena brought the mob basically whatever they thought they would like. http://everything2.com/title/Public%2520entertainment%2520in%2520ancient%2520Rome). What happened in the arena was a verity of things like previously said chariot racing and gladiator battles and some other things. Men in the roman republic for the most part liked to run and exercise. (http://library.thinkquest.org/CR0210200/ancient_rome/entertainment.htm) . Another pass time but not so interesting was shopping. In the square of every town in the Roman republic there were venders and artisans. The venders and artisans would harass you to buy some of there wares. Families would travel to the center of town to pass time, to shop, and to buy necessities. (Barghusen page 6). Women in the roman republic like to shop in the square and buy what they could afford just like the women today. The women in the roman republic bought and spent most of their time in the center of town or known as the square. The children of the roman republic would go to the squares with their moms or play with their friends out in center of town or if they had a farm they would play on it. People in the roman republic said busy and entertained most of the time.
