Very little is known about this subject, it is most likely that the term 'circus' was not used.

Circus skills are as old as civilization this must be so. Riding skills would be known to the the ancient races thousands of years ago, also juggling acrobatics and balance.

It is well known that a form of 'clowning' has existed no doubt in the Roman Arena

to entertain and amuse. Some clown gags have no known origin.

In the Middle Ages the above circus arts were put in Market Squares with touring troupes and players (including the theater and puppets).

See Astley (n England) for the commencement of our circus.
