ROMOS
In Rome it was called the Circus Maximus; on an oval track about the size of a 100 yard football field. In Greece it was the Hippodrome.
Chariot races were held in a long narrow stadium known as a "hippodrome" in the Greek world and a "circus" in the Roman world.
If you use Google Earth to look at the ruins of Tyre in the Lebanon, or south-east of Haghia Sophia in Istanbul, or by the forum in Rome, you will see the typical shape of a hippodrome (Hippo is the root for horse, ie hippopotamus= water horse.
