Chariot Race in the Circus Maximus - Rome, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Chariot Race in the Circus Maximus - Rome, 1850....the Circus Maximus....originally founded in the infancy of Rome by Tarquin the Elder, became, by subsequent repeated enlargements...one of the grand sights of the city. It was surrounded by noble porticoes and seats of marble, wherein...no less a multitude than 485, 000 spectators could be accommodated. Upon the spina...were raised the two Egyptian obelisks...There are some fragmentary traces of this circus still to be seen on its well-known site, now called the Via de Cerchi...Suetonius telis us that Nero, when he played the charioteer in the circus, had ten horses yoked to his car (decemjugis). The same Imperial madcap introduced races between camels, matched two and two, in the circus; and Heliogabalus delighted the populace with an equally strange variety of contest - that of racing elephants'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the ancient Roman amphitheater of Circus Maximus, as depicted in a 1850 illustration from The Illustrated London News. Originally founded by Tarquin the Elder in the infancy of Rome, this grand spectacle became one of the most notable sights of the city with its repeated enlargements. Capable of accommodating an impressive multitude of up to 485,000 spectators, the Circus Maximus was surrounded by noble porticoes and seats of marble. Upon the spina, or central racing strip, stood the two Egyptian obelisks, remnants of Rome's rich cultural heritage. The Circus Maximus has left fragmentary traces on its well-known site, now called the Via de' Cerchi. In this image, we are reminded of the thrilling chariot races that once took place in the Circus Maximus. Suetonius, in his writings, tells us that Nero, the infamous Roman Emperor, even participated in these races, with ten horses yoked to his chariot (decemjugis). Nero's successor, Heliogabalus, introduced even more unusual contests, including races between camels and elephants. This evocative print, from the esteemed Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the ancient Roman world, showcasing the architectural grandeur and the excitement of chariot racing that once captivated audiences in Rome.
