What went on at an ancient roman circus?

In the circus a variety of sporting events took place as well as lavish religious processions but the most popular event that took place at the circus was chariot racing. gambling and betting also took place at the circus with the Romans betting on a faction (team) rather then individual charioteers. each faction would have 2-4 charioteers in each race so gamblers were more likely to win. the circus also contained rest rooms and food outlets where the Romans could enjoy themselves during the breaks. unlike other forms of Roman entertainment the circus wasn't segregated so men and women were allowed to sit together.
