I have read that the Romans saw watching violence in the coliseum (whether public executions, gladiatorial combats, violent dangerous races, killing of animals or mock battles) as a public good. They believed teaching themselves to be callous aided their ability to fight in wars and furthered the aims of Roman society. Cruelty as a virtue is very old.
