Entertainment As in all major cities of the Roman Empire, dozens of religious festivals and civic holidays filled the calendar year of the residents of Antioch. Games and public entertainments of many varieties accompanied these celebrations, including theatrical performances, gladiator fights, staged hunts, chariot races, and athletic competitions.The Antioch Olympics were held every four years and were second only to the games held at Olympia, Greece. The stadium (Olympiakon) in Daphne was the site where most of the Greek-style athletic events took place (foot races, wrestling, etc.). Page 3 of 6 | On the next page: The Roman House |
