What did the rich and poor Roman families do in their free time?

The wealthy were very lucky in every

part of living, and they always lived comfortably. For the wealthy,

to have entertainment they would host parties, or attend them.

Instead of having a party they might as well have a stuffing

banquet. Dancing and Singing to music was another common thing to

do for fun in the Roman mind. Rich Roman's would also hold parties

where everyone would form a circle and a person or two would share

a piece of work that they created, such as poetry or a song. A

professional could be paid to come and dance for the party, or if

they were talented enough they would sing too. There was lots of

villance and if that didn't appeal to you than jugglers in the

streets might. Many people also enjoyed watching acrobats,

musicians playing instruments such as pan-pipes and the lyre. The

town had Excellent libraries with a wide range of authors and

subjects.
