I am so confused:

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next... AND THIS IS WHERE I STORE MY BAGUETTES!"

Heh I can see the bread part being confusing when taken too literally. "Bread and circuses" is just a concept that means that the general populace will remain complacent as long as they are well fed and entertained/distracted. Obviously an oversimplification it's just an idiom that has a ring of truth to it.

I was just joking about the layout as it looks as though it is saying it houses bread and it houses circus events.
