In Antiquity (500 BCE-500 CE), leisure was always more significant than simply a short break from the hardships of everyday life. Leisure served to teach citizens about their various social roles and helped them construct identities, mainly by establishing and maintaining boundaries between social groups. Educated elites cultivated the concepts schole and otium to denote dignified free time, which the gentleman was able to devote to morally valuable pursuits. Festivals and public games were accessible for large and diverse audiences, and also functioned as an effective tool to forge political loyalty to rulers and the ruling classes.
