Ludi

Ludi , public games, produced in Rome as part of a religious festival, provided entertainment for the Roman people in the circus or in the theater (chariot racing and stage performances). Although the precise origins of such games are uncertain, the games themselves were a necessary part of Roman political culture even when that culture changed from Republic to monarchy: they allowed a space for the interaction between rulers and the ruled. By the same token, the Roman people used these games to express its collective will. In Roman society ludi stood on the boundary between civic unity and social disorder.
