The Return of the Circus Maximus
Officials in Rome, IT are planning on reviving the Circus Maximus with chariot races. Ben Hurrrrrrrr!
“The races will last for three days, starting from October 17, 2009… Chariot racers from around the world are expected to compete,” Franco Calo, one of the promoters, said.
He said the races would be held at the Circus Maximus, an ancient chariot racing venue which is now a park.
Chariot racers are, understandably, far and few between, and anyone hoping to participate will have to take lessons before heading for the starting line.
