Lonely Planet review

You can still make out the starting stalls at Rome's best preserved ancient chariot racetrack, a 10,000-seat arena built by emperor Maxentius around AD 309. The unexcavated ruins of his imperial pad sit above the racetrack's northern end. Nearby, Maxentius built the imposing Tomb of Romulus for his young son.
