Running

At the Campus Martius, the boys and men would line up for a competition. It offered the perfect setting for holding running competitions. Boys would usually enjoy jogging in the fields, not older males.


They frequently ran naked and barefoot. It has been a main kind of entertainment for people all over the world since its invention during the ancient Greek era. Running was a sport that the Romans took seriously. Because they were not allowed, women were not visible in the scene.

They even used it in military instruction. Their everyday routine included it since it helped to develop their bones and muscles. Moving feet was the easiest and most exhilarating activity in history, whether it was running, shoving, or racing. Track and field eventually developed out of it, and universities began to offer it as a course of study. The Olympics and the Romans are to thank for this.
