Chariot Racing Returns?

Friday July 18, 2008
Think about chariot racing and images of the film 'Ben Hur' probably spring to mind. Well, soon you might be able to replace that with first hand visions. A re-enactment society called Vadis Al Maximo (To the Maximum) have proposed a three day set of contests in October to the owners of the Circus Maximus in Rome. Crowds of up to 35,000 are possible in the Circus, with more outside seeing things on large screens. There’s no word yet on whether permission will be given.
