Chariot Racing

The sports cars of ancient Rome were called chariots, two compact wheels-based vehicles pulled by a pair of horses. Homer's account of Patroclus' burial serves as one of the chariot's first witnesses. The Ancient Greeks included it as an important sport in the Olympics. It was primarily a component of the public games (Ludi publici), which were held at Circus Maximus in ancient Rome. This is one of the Ancient Roman Games and Recreation

The four-story Circus Maximus (Biggest Circle) included a sizable racing arena where chariot races took place. At that time, it was nothing less than a historical landmark with room for around 20,000 people. Chariot racing is supposed to have been a fantastic spectacle for the city's general amusement.

With 12 chariots racing in the game, there were four teams or factions with the colors red, blue, yellow, and green serving as their emblems. The spectators wager on the colors rather than the individual racers. The riders were dressed in leathers that symbolized the many hues. There were up to six pairs of horses, although most often there were four or two pairs.
