Clown Bluey's History of Clowns: Circus: Although Philip Astley has been attributed to inventing "circus", entertainment in the form of gladiators fighting and other entertainment have been recorded in ancient Rome from 186 B.C. in amphitheatres such as the one shown in Pompeii. Ancient Rome also had 'clowns' although they were not known by that name. |
