The Circus

Not much is left of the Circus in modern times. The vast majority was reclaimed over the centuries for other building material. The faint track still remains and tourists flock to it due to it's central location between the Palatine and Aventine Hills.

For the Roman who did not care for blood, the Circus Maximus provided the thrill of the race. Single horse races, chariot races, and even attempted riding of wild animals brought the audiences to the Circus. With a seating capacity between 150,000-250,000, the Circus also provided the site for religious games as well.
