Circus Maximus

On the glorious day of ancient Rome, there is a powerful Circus Maximus in the Murcia Valley between Palatine and Aventine, sometimes hosting an outdoor rock concert, known as the long grass jogging oval of Circo Massimo.

It is the largest stadium in Rome with a length of 2,000 feet. The empire is the most luxurious tank race to welcome up to 300,000 screamers.

Rome is a dangerous woman, and its founder Romulus needs a plan, otherwise his new village will die in generation.

Romulus is not particularly famous for his kindness - he was brought up by a wolf who killed his twin brother, Raymus, to rule the community they co-founded

The population plan he hatched was pure Romulus. Initially, he invited the neighboring Sabines tribe to attend the magnificent feast and party. Then, if the Romans got drunk with the Savin tender, they killed them and took their wife and daughter and began a compulsory population boom.

This notorious event is known as rape of Sabine women. The origin of the circus is dark. Archaeological evidence indicates that it began at least in the 4th century BC, but Livy said it was built by Roman elders of Etruscan king Tarquin in the 7th century BC.

The Roman tradition thinks it is still relatively old and goes back to the 8th century BC, and it hosted the first game in the notorious feast of the first legendary Roman Romulus (see attached) text)

In addition to the famous tank race of the sword and sandals' golden age in Hollywood, the circus held horse races and other sports festivals, a battle of death among wild beasts, even a battle of the simulated navy.

Julius Caesar made a simulated fight with 1000 infantry, 600 100 captains and 40 elephants here.

The length of the spine along the center of the track is 1,100 feet, with seven eggs (and later dolphins) to help the viewer calculate the distance. To win the race, the driver of his four-wheeled carriage (the vehicle that is towed by four horses) had to rotate 7 times counterclockwise - then of course the first one to enter

Circus Maximus' s model at its heyday. For years, the spine was also acquired as two ancient Egyptian obelisks, which were moved later.

(The obelisk of Ramses II is in People 's Square, the Obelisk of Tuthmosis III is in San Giovanni in Laterano.)

The circus of the entire Republican and Empire era expanded to the dying days of the Empire and the reign of Goth Totila and continued to be rebuilt.

The best part you can see is a staircase seat that supports a cave located on the edge of some brick walls and arches, the curved eastern (Palladin) of Madrid.

If you see the north to see Palatine Hill's flanks above the circus, you can see the vast palace butlress once climbed up the hill.

These can also be used as a boxing seat, royalty and other famous aristocrats can enjoy far more than heat and dust - of course there are many civilians - below

You can go to the temple of Mitrae dell 'Ara Massima di Ercole, underground Mithraeum, or Mithras, which was discovered during the construction of the Fascist party, with special reservations and visits

Circus Maximus is another tank race taking place at a public entertainment center. A wonderful production of Circus Maximus of the movie "Ben Hur". Circus is dedicated to Rome, but it can accommodate 250 thousand people. In today's Rome, the road extends along the length of the track, but the other road is still visible. The campus was refurbished to the athletics field at the veteran training center in the city. The campus is a large plain near the Tiber river. Young people gathered from all over Rome gathered on campus to participate in football games, jumps, archery, wrestling and boxing. Usually men swim after exercise in the Tiber River, or retire to the toilet to relax and clean up.

Circus Maximus (Circo Massimo), located between Aventino and Palatine Hills, is an extension of 300,000 spectators. The arena is 600 m in width and 225 m in width, Circus Maximus is the biggest arena in Rome in advance of Flaminius Circus and Maxentius Circus. In some competitions at Circus Maximus, they stood out in the tank race, and the participants tried to complete 7 laps of Circus Maximus. Competitors will gamble more than fame and grand prix compete by sitting at a race track. Many of them are slaves fighting for freedom.
