The term of "ancient games" brings to mind the ancient games of ancient Roman history. Generally speaking, the games that ancient Romans enjoyed were gladiatorial combat contests that were frequently fought to the death. These contests were fought usually by slaves against on another. The gladiators were trained in schools that made these slaves into fearsome fighters. Gladiatorial games were fought in amphitheaters throughout the Roman Empire.

Chariot Racing is also one of ancient Romes premier sports. They too are referred to as "games". In Rome and in other major Roman cities, chariot racing was a hugely popular sport. The largest venue for these events was the Circus Maximus in Rome. The emperor Trajan, expanded this arena to seat approximately 150,000 people.

On addition to the popular "crowd" games, ancint Romans also practiced sports such as Wrestling and boxing.
