Amphitheatres The Roman amphitheatre was the centre of public entertainment in Rome, and all over the Roman Empire. People would go to the amphitheatre to see men fighting wild beasts or each other. These men were called gladiators. It was a cruel sport because someone was usually killed. The most famous amphitheatre was the Coliseum. You can still visit the Coliseum in Rome today.
Chariot Racing The stadium (or circus) was used for chariot-racing. A stadium had a long rectangular enclosure, curved at one end, with seats all around except at the end opposite the curve. Down the middle was the spine, which the chariots hurtled around, lap after lap, trying to cut in front of each other. Chariot-racing was a very popular sport all over the Roman Empire.
However chariot racing was also very dangerous When an accident occurred the chariot often fell to pieces in an instant and the driver was hurled out The most famous Roman stadium was the Circus Maximus
