Fabulous! The obelisk of course is still there, and parts of the Circus Maximus remain visible. The Arch of Titus, metae and dolphins are long gone, I believe. Going to Italy/Rome for my 60th. Circus Maximus is on my list ;) Not been since ‘86 & missed so much!
Show PostThere is a wonderful book about Roman circus buildings by someone who worked out the measurements and the techniques. I'll have a look if I can find the bibliography list I made for this subject.
