Document Summary
Contents: the circus, the race, horses and chariots, drivers and teams, the fans. Plenty of men in rome and not enough women during romulus time. Romulus plan steal away rape in the sense of seizing someone. They stole the women of a neighboring tribe and invite husbands and wives from sabine to rome to see chariot racing knowing that it was such a popular event. Lap counters (at either end of the spina) (7 eggs and 7 dolphins) Finishing line (probably at end of spina - ~7. 25 laps) No rules (can be rough and violent) Horses and fans: true fans knew drivers and even names of horses. Four-horse or two-horse: big difference b/w war and racing chariots: war reinforced with metal and sturdy/heavy/slow. Racing made of wood, light, no protection, and driver stands of axel. Owned by the managers of the teams: legal disabilities in infammia, ultimate point they were forced to do this.
