The Circus Maximus (Latin for greatest or largest circus, in Italian Circo Massimo) is an ancient Roman chariot racing stadium and mass entertainment venue located in Rome, Italy. Situated in the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills, it was the first and largest stadium in ancient Rome and its later Empire. It measured 621 m (2,037 ft) in length and 118 m (387 ft) in width and could accommodate over 150,000 spectators. In its fully developed form, it became the model for circuses throughout the Roman Empire. The site is now a public park.
The Circus was Rome's largest venue for ludi, public games connected to Roman religious festivals. Ludi were sponsored by leading Romans or the Roman state for the benefit of the Roman people (populus Romanus) and gods. Most were held annually or at annual intervals on the Roman calendar. Others might be given to fulfill a religious vow, such as the games in celebration of a triumph. The earliest known triumph ludi at the Circus were vowed by Tarquin the Proud to Jupiter in the late Regal era for his victory over Pometia.

Its members are Jose Luis "Fofé" Abreu (vocals), Edgardo "Egui" Santiago (keyboards), José David Pérez (drums, vibes), Nicolás Cordero (bass)(Nico is no longer with the band), and Orlando Méndez (guitar).

Il Circo Massimo è un antico circo romano, dedicato alle corse di cavalli, costruito a Roma. Situato nella valle tra il Palatino e l'Aventino, è ricordato come sede di giochi sin dagli inizi della storia della città: nella valle sarebbe avvenuto il mitico episodio del ratto delle Sabine, in occasione dei giochi indetti da Romolo in onore del dio Consus. Di certo l'ampio spazio pianeggiante e la sua prossimità all'approdo del Tevere dove dall'antichità più remota si svolgevano gli scambi commerciali, fecero sì che il luogo costituisse fin dalla fondazione della città lo spazio elettivo in cui condurre attività di mercato e di scambi con altre popolazioni, e – di conseguenza – anche le connesse attività rituali (si pensi all'Ara massima di Ercole) e di socializzazione, come giochi e gare.

Canzone tratta dal concerto tenuto il 24-06-2001 al Circo Massimo, in occasione dei festeggiamenti del III° scudetto dell' A.S. Roma. Alla presenza del presidente Franco Sensi, del sindaco Veltroni, dei giocatori e di tutti i tifosi.
Appello di Franco Sensi, a quei pseudo-tifosi imbecilli "Appollaiati" sui tetti dei palazzi di Roma antica del Circo Massimo il 24-06-2001, in occasione dei festaggiamenti del III scudetto dell'A.S. Roma. Fregandosene dei monumenti, di tutti i tifosi, e mancando di rispetto al presidente e alla maglia per la quale "dicono" di tifare. Per fortuna i "veri" tifosi della "Magica", sono altri.

The Eternal City, where all roads lead.The heart of the former ancient empire is now full with the establishments of the 21st century. The Circus Maximus and the Forum Romanum are only ruins now, but the Colosseum, the Triumphal Arch and Trajan’s Column is still standing, while the Capitolium flourishes in its full beauty. One can see the the baths of Diocletian and Caracalla and can put one’s hand in the Mouth of Truth. The later periods added the Castel Sant’Angelo, the Fontana di Trevi, the Spanish Steps and the bridges crossing the Tiber to the landscape of the city built on seven hills. In the middle of Rome, there is a country protected by the Swiss Guards: Vatican, the centre of the Catholic world. -------------- Watch more travel videos ► http://goo.gl/HYQdhg Join us.

The Ancient Rome Tour Series #1. Once a Tour Guide of Rome and Vatican City, I have developed these videos for visitors of Rome (and anyone else who is interested in learning about these) to watch and learn about the most popular sites of Rome. All of these videos are organized by the area of Rome (i.e. Ancient Rome, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, Highlights of Rome, etc.) and numbered by the order in which they would be best seen (in person if you are traveling to Rome) and understood. All of these videos were originally produced for my Audio Tour Company that has, since production, been closed down. But I want them to be seen. They were a ton of work to finish - from going out day after day to take the photos and videos, and doing my research and writing the scripts and recordi...
Hello friends, I thought you would enjoy this video i put together of my experience seeing one of my favorite bands Circus Maximus for the first time in Mexico city, first time playing in this country aswell.
