Entertainment and Leisure: Introduction

The origins of the sports will be discussed, particularly focusing on:

  • Boxing;
  • Wrestling;
  • Horse and Chariot Racing;
  • Gladiators.

    These sports will be discussed and compared to modern sports, which appear to be the most similar. The booklet will also provide pupils with the opportunity to express their own opinions on certain sports and also include investigative activities that will help them in their Year 7 studies on the Roman Empire and its legacy for the modern world.
