What did the Romans do to relax?

The Romans had a range of leisure pursuits, from watching gladiatorial fights to playing dice games. In southern parts of Britain, the remains of Roman amphitheatres have been found. These were sometimes used to hold gladiator fights. The Romans in Caledonia probably had smaller amphitheatres in some of their larger forts. Evidence suggests hunting was a popular leisure pursuit, as were board games.
