Spanning over 600 meters long and 275 meters wide, this vast space hosted up to 250,000 spectators for events like the Ludi Romani and other public games. Key features include the starting gates (carceres), turning posts (metae), and grandstands (spina) that lined the central barrier. Historical facts reveal its role in shaping Roman culture through centuries of use until it fell into disrepair around the 6th century AD.
