Come and see the wonderful sights at the Circus Maximus!
At the Circus Maximus you could see all kinds of so called ‘entertainment’. This included slaves being thrown to the lions, Gladiator battles, animal fights and many more.
Slaves
Slaves were kept in cages and cells beneath the Colosseum and were treated horribly. When a show was on the slaves would be let out into the arena. After them would come a wild animal or a Gladiator. If it was a Gladiator, then the slave was made to run around the arena with the Gladiator chasing it. When the slave tired, it would be given a horrible death.
Gladiator Battles
In this event, two Gladiators would be let into the arena and they would fight to the death. Sometimes this took hours, and sometimes even days! The winner would fight the next day and the day after until they died.
Animal Fights
Lions, tigers, bears, and panthers were some of the many animals that were kept in the Colosseum for entertainment. These animals would be battle between each other until one animal died. The people loved to watch this sport and found it highly amusing.
