The origin of Circus Maximus goes back to the 6th century BC when the fifth king of Rome Tarquinius Priscus made an orbit between Palatin and Aventin. The first permanent departure gate was made in 329 B.C. In 174 BC the gate was rebuilt and seven wooden eggs were placed on the spine, the middle wall of the arena. Eggs are used to calculate turns and eggs are taken after each turn. In 1933 BC, 7 bronze dolphins were added to the spine for the same purpose.

A large obelisk of Heliopolis was added to the spine as a decoration. The obelisk is in the center of Piazza del Popolo. In the 4th century, another obelisk was added for the first time in a while.
