No emperor enlarged the seating capacity of the Circus Maximus to 150,000. It was Julius Caesar who did this. He was not an emperor. When he was in charge Rome was still a Republic. The emperor Augustus repaired and embellished the Circus. The emperor Claudius made improvements and probably built an anti-flood embankment (the Circus was in a flood-prone valley).

Over the centuries, there had been many fires at the Circus because its seating was made of wood.
