I only know of the Roman empire and the gladiator contests but the politics of keeping the crowd amused and enthralled by public spectacles may have started earlier. Luckily we have have become a bit more civilized in our spectacles. We now have royal weddings.
Now I'm talking about the British royal wedding. Big thing in OZ as we're a colonial country. It will be on all the TV channels.
Makes you wonder; would you exchange places for a life of wealth but always under public scrutiny, your every move watched. Could you ever just be yourself and not the public profile you'd have to carry?
