I would like to know where the circus maximus is located. Does anybody know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.16.13.153 ( talk) 22:57, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
There is a pic but the page is crowded enough.

So, is a Roman Circus a subset of the term Hippodrome, or are they considered separate. Because the Circus Maximus is definitely a circus of Roman origin, not Greek.

This article would probably benefit from a picture or rendering, showing what the Circus Maximus looked like during its heydays. What I'm not sure about if there are any out there that can be used without infringing on copyright. -- MiG ( talk) 17:00, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
To revisit a comment from 2 years ago, is a circus considered a Hippodrome? The Hippodrome article suggests that they are separate concepts, but this article leads with The Maxiumus being a hippodrome... Someone with better credentials than I got a comment? TheHYPO ( talk) 07:13, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Nope. Any sentence that begins with Certainly and is about Tarquinius Priscus is an overstatement; it's not certain that there was such a man. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:50, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
What is the source of this?
In 140AD a collapse of the upper tier caused the death of 1,112 spectators. It remains the deadliest sports-related disaster to date[2].
I can't find it in guinness records web. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.158.214.37 ( talk) 13:04, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
The article has long suffered from a disproportion of images to text. I'm going to move the map here for now. For me, the model shows the Circus better; it's too small on the map to read well. Others may disagree, or the article may expand to a length that would accommodate more images. Cynwolfe ( talk) 22:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Just wondering whether any kindly passers by know of scholarship that ever-so-tentatively identifies the stream (noted in the Porter ref on Renascence Rome) as Murcia's own, formerly paved over or led in a conduit beneath the track, and subsequently re-exposed. That would make sense, but a cite's a cite. (Taking a breather here, because it's easier than other stuff. I intend adding a little material on the Circus M's shrines to Murcia and Consus, plus a chopped-down version of the strange foxy Cerean Circus ritual). Haploidavey ( talk) 01:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Wasn't some of the buildings (on the spina?) recycled as a fortress by some medieval family? -- Error ( talk) 23:42, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
Part of the stands collapsed in 150 AD (?) and killed an enormous amount of people...around ~13,000 I believe. This information should appear somewhere in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.24.110.248 ( talk) 16:03, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
The creation of a digital model by the Ausonius Institute has led to yet another downward revision of the number of spectators, in the range 60,000-100,000. See Robert Vergnieux, “Origine de l’usage de la Réalité Virtuelle à l’Institut Ausonius et les premiers travaux sur le Circus Maximus,” in Le cirque romain et son image, p. 240. See also p. 433 n. 26 in the same volume.
Life is too short for me to attempt a revision, but someone may like to add this. Skookumpete ( talk) 00:20, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
The problem of the recent edits is not a problem of sources. At wikipedia editors should follows WP:RECENTand [[]], which is part of a standard. The former prohibits giving an article an unbalanced focus on recent events. For several decades the area has been used as a concert arena, and several singers perform there every year. The concert which took place few weeks ago is not strikingly different from those that have happened before, so there is no reason to describe it in the article. Here we should keep the focus of the article on a landmark which is 2,000 years old. Alex2006 ( talk) 05:52, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
