Pompeii Sports and Entertainment Millenium Series 21,

Pompeii was a rich city, and it's inhabitants had time to spare. To fill this time, there were many sporting events, festivals and circuses. There were gladiator fights, with men or exotic animals. There were chariot races, where much betting took place. The Romans played ballgames as part of their daily exercise and also exercised their minds with board games. Theatre was also popular, with two actors playing each part. All these events were free to all. It was also acceptable for Roman men to visit "ladies of the night". A class of their own, Prostitution thrived in Pompeii. There were 25 brothels recorded. This was not free. Also there are more thoughts of Pliny the younger on Bloodsport as well as a sentor called Senecca. Lots of photos, links and instant links to wonderful pictures. Please join me on this journey and feel free to start a discussion, Mary Ellen
