Chatterbox :
Bread and circuses" is a phrase that refers to the way that the ruling class kept the masses content and pacified in ancient Rome. The phrase suggests that if the people were given food (bread) and entertainment (circuses), they would not care about anything else and would be content to remain under the rule of the ruling class. The term dates from the Roman poet Juvenal’s Satires, in which he said, "Two things only the people anxiously desire -- bread and circuses".
