The Roman Stadium, also known as the Circus Maximus, was an ancient Roman chariot racing stadium located in the heart of Rome. It was one of the largest and most important venues for public entertainment in ancient times, capable of seating up to 250,000 spectators. The stadium featured a long, oval shape, with a central track for chariot races and stands on either side for spectators. Constructed in the 6th century BCE, the Circus Maximus hosted not only chariot races but also various public events, including religious ceremonies and festivals. Over the centuries, it underwent several renovations and expansions, reflecting the grandeur of the Roman Empire. Today, the site remains a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of ancient Roman engineering.
