*Chariot races – The Circus Maximus was a racetrack that held 250,000 people where people would go watch chariot races. These were races in which people would be pulled in chariots by horses.

*Public baths – the Romans thought cleanliness was REALLY important. They would go to public baths and bathe then just relax. These baths were like public pools, in addition to the baths there were meeting rooms, exercise rooms, and steam rooms.

*Rich or poor: all of the public events were free, so even the poor people of ancient Rome could attend the gladiator matches and chariot races.
