The gladiatorial games were very popular among the Romans. Some emperors, high executive officers of state and aristocrats spent enormous amounts of money on organising lavish gladiatorial games to portray themselves as benefactors and to gain popular support. The emperor Augustus introduced a law which capped private and public expenditure on the gladiatorial games. He said that this was necessary to save the roman elite from bankruptcy. However, this law was often ignored. Some 170 year later the emperor Marcus Aurelius introduced a similar law, but this was unsuccessful, too.
