Abstract

Various amusements were known in Roman society. Pastimes were a feature of daily life, and
their forms included various kinds of games, gambling and competitions designed to amuse
and entertain during moments of leisure. Over time some games became socially and even
politically significant, and began to be used to manipulate the people. Some games even
became extremely destructive and morally reprehensible, leading the newly-established ecclesiastical authorities to condemn them.
