Caesar urges Colosseum to make Circuses final free to watch

Context:

Roman practice of providing free wheat to Roman citizens (the Annona) as well as costly circus games and other forms of entertainment as a means of gaining political power. In much modern literature, this represents the Annona as a “briberous and corrupting attempt of the Roman emperors to cover up the fact that they were selfish and incompetent tyrants”.[8]
