Why did the ancient Roman government begin the bread and circuses program to keep the poor fed and entertained?
Many of the games originally started as part of either religious holidays or funeral ceremonies and in that sense, are as old as Roman civilization itself. And while people today mostly think of gladiators when 'circuses' are mentioned, horse racing - especially chariot racing - was much more popular: on any given day several races would be held for enthusiastic crowds, all rooting for their favorite 'color' as worn by the chariot driver. So theatrical and gladiator games evolved gradually out of early ceremonies of around 400 BC and the Roman Government had nothing to do with that until later. As to the races: as long as people have owned horses, there has been this urge to have them race against each other; and having 'colors' that people could root for is no Government invention either; it's the same basic urge that makes us want to root for different sports teams today. The Roman Government did however make use of the games' popularity by building amphitheaters for them. A little later on, the elected political officials called Aediles had as one of their tasks to organize the games in Rome itself during their year of office. It made the job a stepping-stone for higher elected office, because spending lavishly on the games with your own money and making them spectacular would earn you great popularity among the masses.

What you rather have them hold, pig racing? The average Roman didn't really have much to look forward to except the occasional religious festival. So for a couple of silver coins you could get a seat and watch the exciting and risky chariot race. It was like football and motor-sport rolled into one they had teams with different colours and emblems plus they had different race types including using 2 horses, 4 horses and the most dangerous 8 horse races.
