Social and Political Purposes Distracted the people from politics. “The people (who used to care about the important things) now have but two passionate desires: Bread and circus games.” Bread was passed out at the games by the gov’t. Kept the population happy with their rulers. Politicians used handouts and petty amusements to gain popular support, instead of gaining it through sound public policy. Educated people in Roman values. Strength, courage, training, discipline, glory and victory. Advertised the wealth and power of Rome.
