Book Review of The Circus Maximus: The History and Legacy of the Largest Stadium in Ancient Rome

The Circus Maximus: The History and Legacy of the Largest Stadium in Ancient Rome
jjares avatar reviewed on + 3414 more book reviews


This was not a compelling eBook; it seemed all over the place. It retells the story of Romulus and Remus, provides a short history of the evolution of chariot racing, and provides some information about Circus Maximus. This was the largest (and first) stadium in ancient Rome. There were few drawings to give the reader an idea of the arena's size.
