The Colosseum was the venue for the gladiatorial gamed which were held very frequently and lasted one to several days. The gladiatorial games, together with chariot races, was the most popular form of entertainment. Thus, the Colosseum gave the Romans something to enjoy and look forward to. For the poor it brightened up their harsh lives. The Roman elites believed that providing games for the entertainment of the masses kept them happy and therefore, prevented riots. The rich enjoyed the gladiatorial games as much as the poor.
