The phrase bread and circuses did not create anything. It reflected the attitude of the Roman elite towards the poor. They thought that they had to be fed and entertained to keep them happy and to prevent riots. Bread referred to the free grain dole the state distributed to the poor. Circuses referred to the circus, which was the chariot racing track. The rich elites liked to spend a lot of money on lavish gladiatorial games and chariot races, which were very popular.
