Because they had not has much entertainment as we have. They only had choice between theater, gladiator fights and chariot races. They liked chariot races because this is action, adrenaline, ect. Chariot races are like car races today.

Roman spectators watched chariot races in a circus. Circus in Roman times meant racecourse, it did not have the same meaning as today's word, circus. In the city of Rome itself, the Ciurcus Maximus was the main racecourse.
Roman chariot racing was the great, great, grandfather of our modern day harness racing and auto racing. The connection with harness racing is obvious, while the auto racing incorporates the speed and touch of danger that the ancient chariot races held.
Roman chariot races were a significant aspect of ancient entertainment, influencing modern sports and competitive events. The excitement and spectacle of these races laid the groundwork for contemporary motorsports, such as car racing. Additionally, the social dynamics surrounding chariot teams fostered a sense of loyalty and community, akin to modern sports teams and fan cultures. This legacy of competition and spectacle continues to shape public entertainment and athletic events today.

The Coliseum has been in ruins for centuries, but it is still a popular tourist attraction for visitors to Rome today
Chariot racing is not in the modern Olympics primarily because it is considered dangerous, both for the participants and the animals involved. While it was a popular sport in ancient Greece and Rome, modern Olympic values emphasize fair competition and athlete safety. Additionally, the logistical complexities of organizing chariot races, along with the lack of widespread popularity today, further contribute to its absence from the Olympic program.
About the only resemblance Roman chariot races and our horse races have today is the betting on the outcome. True we have harness racing where one horse pulls a cart, but the horse has to be controlled, that is, he has to run at a pace or a trot. The Romans, however, had rather light weight racing chariots pulled by (usually) four horses and they ran at breakneck speed four times around the circuit.
No, "today" is not a where adverb; it is a time adverb that indicates when something occurs. Adverbs of place answer questions about location, such as "where," while adverbs of time specify when an action takes place, like "today."
