3. Before starting your notes
• Label page 38 of your notebook “Pax Romana

contents too. (We may not have done this in
your class, but we still need to have this page
labeled. Therefore, it may be blank in your
notebook and that is okay.)

-Gladiators were slaves or criminals who actually
went to gladiator school to learn to fight!
-They fought in public arenas, amphitheaters, and
the fights were free for any citizen to attend
-Most famous amphitheater: Colosseum – 50,000
people could fit in it!

8. *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.
9. *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.
