The venationes were originally stag

The venationes were originally staged as a postlude to the ludi. Their symbolic function was related to Rome's expanding empire, and hence the more exotic the animals shown and slain, the greater the spectators' supposed conviction that Rome was growing ever grander and that they were increasingly protected by the Empire against strange dangers (Kyle 1998).

Perburuan awalnya dipentaskan sebagai postlude ke permainan. Fungsi simbolik mereka terkait dengan Roma memperluas kerajaan, dan karenanya lebih eksotis hewan ditampilkan dan dibunuh, semakin besar seharusnya keyakinan penonton bahwa Roma tumbuh pernah megah dan bahwa mereka semakin dilindungi oleh Kekaisaran terhadap bahaya aneh (Kyle 1998) .
