"Bread and circuses" refers to a strategy used by Roman authorities to appease the populace through food and entertainment. The attendees of these events were primarily the general public, including the urban poor, who relied on free grain and spectacles like gladiatorial games and chariot races for both sustenance and amusement. Wealthier citizens also attended these events, often as a means of socializing and displaying status. Overall, the events aimed to distract and placate a diverse audience within Roman society.
