Rome enjoyed the pleasure of have the option to play the many sports that were available to them. The most favorite of all the sports though, was a spectating sports; gladiator fights along with all the other killing games in the arena. Nothing quite got the Romans riled up like a good killing match in the Colosseum. Other than deciding others fates with the flick of a thumb, they enjoyed ball games such as Handball (Expulsim Ludere), Trigon, Soccer, Field Hockey, Harpasta, Phaininda, Episkyros, and certainly Catch and other games that children might invent, like Dodge Ball. They also played board games such as checkers.
