Why did roman emperors hold back gladiator battles and chariot races?
The emperors Augustus and Hadrian introduced laws which limited the amount of money which was spent on staging the gladiatorial games. This was because enormous sums were spent on this by elite people and there were worries that this could bring them to financial ruin. However, these measures were largely ignored and some emperors sent a fortune on staging large scale games which sometimes lasted for very long periods of time. This was particularly a problem for the gladiatorial games. The chariot races were less expensive.
How violent did chariot races get?
Although they were not as bad as gladiators, Chariot races were extremely violent. For example, if they were knocked off, they could be trampled to death by the horses.
