  My understanding was that the Romans really, really liked races though….

  Games for the Hippodrome:

  • Chariot Race
  • Installation of an anti-Emperor
  • Massacres of civilians!

  The hippodrome is the Sega Saturn of Roman amphitheaters.

  Why are you comparing one specific amphitheatre with the concept of horse racing tracks in general?

  A fairer comparison would have been Colosseum vs. Circus Maximus. With that the competition would have been a lot closer.

  And they still do concerts on both. Though more at Circo Massimo.

  The hippodrome became a lot less cool once they stopped the hippo fights
