In comparison; Emperors used this power among society to increase their popularity. Instances in which this can be seen would be the gladiator games.
The governing authorities again like to use culturally significant figures in the tales of innovation and invention and discovery. Even with such advanced politics and thought, a class distinction still persisted, and though they had seen the benefit of all this technology, there were those in the upper class who felt it was beneath them to use such tools in any way. T Innovation was of great value to both the Han and Romans. The Han placed a higher attribution to culturally relevant creators.

Often these were slaves or condemned prisoners; therefore, they were receiving their due punishment. One important factor was how the gladiator was viewed. Apparently, some women and men saw them as sexual objects, perhaps because some fought bare-chested.
What can be discovered from Cicero’s correspondence and other writings about the concept of otium (leisure) and the evaluation of its pursuits in the late Republic? Otium was first used in the comedy genre by Plautus during the mid-republic, after which it then got picked up by others, Ennius for example and grew in popularity. The homonym otium means both leisure/free time and state peace after war.
