Life was not just chores and worship for the empires, because they had all types of entertainment. The Greeks enjoyed tragedies, but the Romans preferred comedies. Even chariot races took place in the empires. Greece had the Olympic Games where only men could participate in or watch, and where it tested your strength. The Romans had gladiators, who fought to the death against men and wild beasts. These gory, intense games were not the only forms of entertainment. In Greece the agora, marketplace where people would talk about issues, was similar to the Forums in Ancient Rome.
