As the games grew in intensity; the audience grew in diversity, and this can be seen represented in the division of the seating. Reigning supreme over the proceedings was, of course, the Emperor, sitting in view of the spectators so they could see his decision. Higher ranks of society, such as knights, senators and court officials sat in reserved seating. Next came the aristocracy, both male and female, coming to feed their lust for blood. Then, the average male Roman citizen, wanting to see justice done, to voice their opinion to the Emperor and to see the power of Rome crush all threats from rebels and Christians.......(short extract) to download the full answer, please Sign in or Register then make a payment or submit an essay
