Bread and circuses was an expression which encapsulated the prejudice the Roman elites had towards the poor. It meant that the masses of the poor had to be kept fed and happy with entertainments to prevent them from rioting. Despite this riots still occurred when the people were unhappy with the current political situation.
Bread referred to the grain dole for the poor. The poor received free grain (and later also olive oil, wine and salt) from the state. Without this many of the poor would not have survived. Circus was the name of the Chariot Racing track. The Romans loved chariot races which, together with the gladiatorial games, were the city's top type of entertainment.
The poor benefited from the dole because it fed them and from the entertainment because their day was dull.
