Situated in the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills, it was the first and largest Chariot Racing Stadium in ancient Rome. The site is now a public park and retains little evidence of its former use. The Circus could hold over 1/4 of the city's population, that is over 250,000 people, allowing for this Circus to be a popular viewing place by the Romans. The Circus was measured "621 m (2,037 ft) in length and 118 m (387 ft) in width."(http://www.roman-colosseum.info/colosseum/circus-maximus.htm) HI IM JUSTIN WELLS
