How to Survive the Circus Maximus!!! Aqueducts Roads Home Trajan Lif of a Soldier Life of an Artisan

You ready to survive one of the most difficult parts of Rome? Well get ready because if you don't know whats there then you will never survive. Hahaha, sorry I was just imagining you going there without having knowledge about it. All right, first off, the Circus Maximas was not a circus, it was a brutal race track for horses and their gladiators. Over 250,000 people would come from Rome to watch this violent, bloody, and extreme race. Men with their horses would race around a quarter mile track nine times to see who would win. The fans would make bets based on the mens team color. Of course it wasn't really safe though, because imagine you losing, and some jerk next to you jumping around saying he won. Well that was basically what started the main violence. People would kill each other, and if you are near them either run away, or be a Roman and join the fight. (I am not encouraging violence, just you must know that if you run away the only good thing is that you were able to run through a crowd of 250,000 people) This racing circus was built everywhere, and Rome had nine of them when Rome was completed. More shocking is that this stadium was larger than the famous collosseum. Right about know you should know that this place has a relation to a event that many people love to watch. Actually there are three things that can relate. First there is Nascar because of the racing. Then, there is also jockey races because of the horses and racing. Latsly, there is drag racing because of the crashing and the racing.
