In the second century, Tertullian wrote: “Among [Christians] nothing is ever said, or seen, or heard, which has anything in common with the madness of the circus, the immodesty of the theatre, [and] the atrocities of the arena. ”
Pada abad kedua, Tertulian menulis, ” [Orang - orang Kristen] tidak pernah membicarakan, melihat, atau mendengar apa pun yang berkaitan dengan kegilaan sirkus, kebejatan teater, [dan] kebiadaban arena. ”
