## Why go

Circus Maximus was primarily devoted to chariot races and was used for this purpose until around 550 AD. The stadium could seat up to 150,000 people. The original structure was built of wood. It burned down twice, on the second occasion starting the great fire when the Emperor Nero was said to have fiddled while Rome burned. It was in one of the tunnels here that Caligula met his end.
