Explain how the Greeks reacted to the introduction of Roman sport.
What will be an ideal response?
There was some opposition to Roman sport in Greece; however, by the first century A.D., gladiatorial contests were being staged in Athens and Corinth. In Corinth, though, riots broke out when the Roman proconsul attempted to force the Greeks to accept Roman sport on a mass scale. The Greeks had no love for the Romans, who were their masters, and Greek criticism of Roman sport was largely the reaction of people who believed they were watching the demise of their sporting heritage at the hands of the Romans. However, several emperors liked the Olympic Games and from the first to third century A.D. spent vast sums of money to rebuild Olympia and other Greek athletic venues destroyed during the Roman conquest of Greece. The Greeks responded by erecting marble statues of the Roman emperors who restored Greek sport.
