Circus Maximus
The Circus Maximus is an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass-entertainment venue sited in the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills in Rome. At its peak it measured about 621 m long and accommodated a vast tiered cavea for public games and processions. The site today is a public park with archaeological traces of its former track and seating.

As it stood in AD 110
The shape it held in its prime.
An elongated oval racing arena 621 m long with a broad pale-packed earth track, bounded by a low inner dividing spina lined with monuments and a central obelisk, and by multi-tiered stone cavea rising on either side with outer timber-built bleachers above and shops beneath; the semicircular curved end terminates in a processional arch and the painted wooden starting stalls occupy the straight end, flanked by the slopes and trees of the Palatine and Aventine.
