Circus Flaminius, Ancient circus and archaeological site in Campus Martius, Rome, Italy
The Circus Flaminius extended across 260 meters in length and 100 meters in width, featuring concrete walls with opus reticulatum construction and pillars of tufa.
Gaius Flaminius Nepos established this circus in 221 BC, creating a space that later became the core of Rome's administrative Region IX under Augustus.
The circus grounds hosted the Ludi Plebeii, Taurian Games, and served as a venue for markets, public assemblies, and ceremonial gatherings in ancient Rome.
Archaeological remnants of the circus structure remain preserved beneath modern buildings, including sections under the Palazzo Caetani near the Tiber River.
In 2 BC, the entire circus area was flooded to stage a spectacle involving crocodiles, commemorating the construction of Augustus' new forum.
