Roman Emperors held gladiator battles and chariot races because they distracted the uneducated. They prevented revolts. They kept the poor entertained.
The Romans absorbed chariot racing from the Etruscans and quite possibly from the Greeks in southern Italy. Those two ethnic groups are known to have had chariot races and it was the first Tarquin king of Rome (who was said to be Etruscan although this is being questioned) established the outline for the Circus Maximus.
