Both the rich and poor in ancient Rome had fun in basically the same way. They would pull practical jokes and pranks on Saturnalia, both classes went to the races, gladiatorial contests, and other public ceremonies. There was also the theater. The only difference in these public entertainments was the seating arrangements. In private, rich and poor had about the same Board Games, individual contests and the all time favorite, dice. The only difference is that the rich would more than likely have more expensive gaming materials---the deluxe edition of dice or knucklebones, rather than the standard.

Why was rome in trouble in 135 BC?

Rome was in trouble on 135 B.C because farmers lost their land, meaning Rome lost its economy. Merchants became very poor because luxuries were available in other places for rich Romans to buy, artisans lost their business because the Romans wanted to buy from Syria and Greece, and government officials were to busy getting money to worry about the republic's problems. The gap between the rich and the poor grew. The poor hated the rich and the rich hated the poor. Because of all this, Rome lost its political stability.
