Do you think ball games were popular in Ancient Rome?

Could children play ball games, or were they only for adults?

Were there any competitions?

Did people play football in Ancient Rome?

Were there round balls?

Did they play video games?

 Ancient Romans played  different ball games with round balls.

They were similar to our field hockey, handball, and even football.

Romans thought some light exercise, like running or playing ball games, was healthy for children. Children couldn't take part in competitions.

There were competitions in races, swimming, and wrestling, but not in ball games.
