The Circus Maximus in ancient Rome seemed to be a "work in progress" for most of its existence. It was originally built, in a primitive form, by the Etruscan king Tarquinius Priscus. This Priscus reigned from 616 to 579 BC so the circus was begun sometime during that time period. Through the years, other kings and politicians added seating to it, enlarged it, decorated it and generally made it more comfortable and accommodating for the spectator.

∙ 11y agoThere is not a precise date. The fifth king of Rome, Tarquinius Priscus, who was said to have ruled from 616 to 579 BC, was said to have built some seating for the aristocracy. It was just the start of its development and the seating covered only a small part of the track. The development of the Circus Maximus took place over many centuries. The seating was completed to cover most of the track in the 40s BC by Julius Caesar. Monumental additions to it were made by Augustus (ruled 27 BC to 14 AD). Despite the wooden seating being the cause of many fires, it was replaced by stone seating in the time of Trajan (ruled 98 to 117 BC).
