Ancient Roman chariot races took place in a circus. Circus in Roman terms meant a ring or an oval course for running races. The largest was the Circus Maximus, which some say could hold 100,000 people. There were also the Circus Flaminius and the Circus Maritimus.

∙ 10y agoIn the city of Rome, the chariot races were held in the Circus Maximus.
There was also the Circus Flaminius where the Ludi Turii, games for a religious festival, were held. However, this venue was too small for chariot races and its track was not designed for chariot races. The Ludii Taurii involved horseback races and horseback fights. Moreover, the races here were held exclusively for the mentioned religious occasion. The place was also used as a market and the popular assemblies often met here.
The word "circus" meant racetrack, so any structure or area with circus in its name was a place to hold chariot races or horseback races The emperor Caligula was said to have built a private race course.
