In my opinion, the chariot races would be my favorite form of entertainment. Just a pinch of death. There is no rules so it's so exciting to see what ideas they get to win. The colors, the speed, it all just makes your heart pump with Adrenaline.

In my opinion, I would like to watch the chariot races. I think it would be awesome to see how the races are different from today. I also think that it would be really cool to see the races with horses in them because that is not a custom in our country.

Jessica, I see what you mean about the races. It would be really cool to see that since it is not an event we watch. I still stick with my first choice being the theater, but this is a close second. You and Abby

I agree with you Abby. Even though I sometimes like to watch people fight to their death.... just kidding. Chariot races are actually more, not to, brutal. Even though you might get ran over by a horse, I just find chariot races more entertaining.

I think that the theater would have been the most exciting. It would be cool to see how the ancient romans acted (in a play not behavior wise) , and what plays they came up with. This is also the least dangerous entertainment option, so that's good if you don't want to watch someone die right before your eyes.

I agree. The other two forms of entertainment are a little bit violent. I don't really like sports where there could be a potential death.

I agree with Abby. I think it would be interesting to see how long the racers would last in the race without getting killed! It's also really nice to see what the prize is for winning.

I agree with Jessica M. and Abby A. about chariot races. No rules can equal crazy twists. Especially when no one is likely to literally die. Well no deaths until something else happens.... Like the prize Jessica said, it would be really exciting to know what you get. I also am with Abby that this is totally adrenaline pumping! This is just much of a race that has been explained!

I would like to go to the gladiator fights. The reason why I would like to go is that it would be so cool to see lions and tigers coming right out of the stage. Over the weekend I wached Glatiator and it was so cool so it gave me a idea of how it would have been.

I agree with Gianna because I think seeing people getting mauled is fun. I can see Romans liking it.

I totally agree with you Gianna. I forgot about all of the animals that were in the Colosseum. That would be cool to see

I think my favorite form of entertainment would have been the gladiator fights because they are action packed. Just imagine the crown going wild after the emperor just put his thumb down. While the crowd is chanting "Kill! Kill! Kill!" I think that it would be the most fun seeing the gladiator fights.

You are so right Jacob, gladiator fights would be like going to a Blackhawks game against the Redwings in a game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. I might see the gladiator movie so I hope it will be as exciting to see some fights in the movie, as it would be In real life.

My favorite would be the gladiator fights because it is entertaining whaling people beating at each other with swords, daggers, and other Roman weapons. I know that sounds kind of wired but that is most likely how I would feel if I was around that time. I also think it would be really intense wondering who is going to win and what is going to happen next. I just wouldn't want to go to the Collosseum when the emperor who launched venomous snakes into the crown, I really don't want to have a snake land on top off me while I am enjoying my fried pork.

I would love to see the gladiator fights in the Colosseum. Just a lot of death and the clashing of swords sounds cool to me. Also, I think that's how I would feel around that time. It would be awesome to see who dies and who lives and what happens next.

Well, I would more enjoy the chariot races than seeing death right before me. I mean I know where you guys are getting it from, with the Roman Colosseum. Like oh what will happen next in this fight to the death or what not. Being no rules on like a horse and carriage race it would be cool to I don't know, see what they do. They did cheats that were legal practically, just to win a horse race pretty much! This is my opinion of what better entertainment is, so agree or disagree with me!

To be honest, my favorite form of entertainment would have to be the chariot races. To me the races aren't to disgusting and cruel. Plus, chariot races are almost like present day horse racing, except there are rules and people don't get sabotaged........ unless a person is really mean. Also, I like the designs of the chariots, and how the groups are color coted.

I think the gladiator fights would be more entertaining because seeing people fight to death is fun. Way back in Roman times it was a hobby to watch people fight. Also there is more action watching the gladiators than the theater and races.

I agree with Aiden K because gladiator fights were most entertaining to me. They were more entertaining because you had gladiators fight to the death while lions and tigers popped out left and right. Also the sound of the swords clashing and the roar of lions just makes me think that the gladiator fights were the most entertaining

Honestly, I would disagree with you, Ty. I know that the sounds of the lions and the clashing of the swords sounds amazing, but the death part is what I disagree with. I wouldn't like to see people die form animals. I would show sympathy for that person and feel bad for them. I would cry if I saw someone die.

I agree to Aiden K. Because way back it was Rome's hobby watching people fighting to the death. Also, it is a lot more entertaining then the other entertainments in Rome such chariots races and theater. Plus, it is fun watching people fighting.

I think the gladiator fights were the most entertaining. I think they were the most entertaining because when you get your opponent on the ground the crowd got to chose live or die. Also it made it more intense when the lions and tigers came out while trying not to get bitten by a lion or tiger and the dodging a sword attack.

I would say gladiator fights because I like things that involve contact . Also killing has to be cool to see in person

My favorite would have been the chariot races bacause I like going to races now and I think I would like going to them then too. Also I like war scenes in movies and so when they hit each other I think I would have liked it. Finally, I like to see horses moving at full speed, they are brilliant animals

I think my favorite entertainment in Rome would be gladiator fights. Because it is exciting to watch gladiators fight to the death against animals or other gladiators. Also, it would be intense wither the Rome's leader would say finish off the gladiator off or let him live. I think this my favorite entertainment in Rome.

I would love to witness theater shows. I wonder if these plays were very ridiculous. I bet the people laughed historically. My favorite form of entertainment would have been theater shows

I think that the Roman Gladiators would be amazing to watch. Even though I get that some people think it's sad that slaves are forced to fight each other to death in a arena for fun, I still think you would have a good time. I mean, Imagine yourself in a huge arena surrounded by people making bets on fights. As many people said before Gladiators are very alike to todays sports, and I'm a huge sports fan. Even though I would enjoy another Roman sport, horse races, I would rather see a fight instead

I think that I would like gladiator fights because it would be cool to see the trap doors open up and a tiger eat someone. You wouldn't have a PS4 to play games on so I would like to watch gladiators fight. I think I would not be a good gladiator though.

I totally agree I mean personally I love that kind of stuff especially the trap doors I mean it would be awesome to see gladiators fight to the death, or against hungry, starved animals even

I think gladiatorial fights because I truly love watching melee fights. the trap doors would also be awesome to see during fights. Also I love going to any type of stadium or game/event.
