EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to ancient Rome, specifically to the iconic Circus Maximus. Built in the 4th century B.C., this grand ancient site is a testament to the rich history and civilization of the Roman Empire. The Circus Maximus, meaning "greatest circus," was the largest stadium of the ancient world, capable of holding an estimated 150,000 spectators. Located in the heart of Rome, the Circus Maximus is surrounded by the Palatine Hill, with the Palace of the Emperors visible in the background. The Palatine Hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome, is where the city was founded, making it a significant historical site in its own right. The Circus Maximus was the venue for various forms of entertainment, including chariot races, athletic competitions, and even naval battles. The quadrigae, or chariots pulled by four horses, were a common sight at the circus, and the winning charioteers were celebrated as heroes. This image captures the essence of ancient Rome, showcasing its impressive architecture, historical significance, and the leisurely pursuits of its people. The ruins of the Circus Maximus stand as a reminder of the Roman Empire's enduring legacy and the fascinating history of Latium, or Italy, as we know it today.
