The Circus Maximus

The Circus Maximus was an ancient racetrack and the largest venue for spectacles ever built: estimates run from a hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty thousand seats. Chariots raced here.

Today it is a long field with grassy slopes along the sides — those slopes are the old stands. Walk the length of it and picture the turns: chariots gathered speed on the straight, then locked axles and overturned at the bend. Down the middle ran the spina, a long barrier with obelisks; one of them now stands on Piazza del Popolo.
