Sports were not very important in Rome. They were much bigger thing among the Greeks. The Romans adopted the sport of the Greeks, but they did not reach the same importance as in Greece.

The Romans loved the gladiatorial contests and the Chariot races. These were the only two sports which were important. They were not adopted from the Greeks.

We know of the importance of sports to the Romans by not only writings about the various rules for the various sports and the attendance figures, but also by the many inscriptions left honoring sports heroes and in some cases of charioteers, their horses.
