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.
