Circus of Carthage, Ancient Roman circus in Carthage, Tunisia
The Circus of Carthage extends 450 meters along the Mediterranean coast, featuring distinct starting gates and sections designed for chariot racing competitions.
Built during the 2nd century AD under Roman rule, this entertainment complex served as a central venue for public gatherings and athletic competitions.
The circus housed thousands of spectators who gathered to watch chariot races, reflecting the strong influence of Roman sports traditions in North Africa.
