This incredible arena was the site of
races as well as games (or in Latin), including wild animal hunts and gladiator fights.
Chariot riders always wore red, blue, green or white silks, and chariots were pulled by teams of between two and 12 horses.
The Circus Maximus could hold
over 250,000 people. That’s about the same as four
completely packed football stadiums!
