Circus (building)
The Roman circus (from Latin, "circle") was a large open-air venue used for public events in the ancient Roman Empire. The circuses were similar to the ancient Greek hippodromes, although circuses served varying purposes and differed in design and construction. Along with theatres and amphitheatres, Circuses were one of the main entertainment sites of the time. Circuses were venues for chariot races, horse races, and performances that commemorated important events of the empire were performed there. For events that involved re-enactments of naval battles, the circus was flooded with water.
According to Edward Gibbon, in Chapter XXXI of his work The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Roman people, at the start of the 5th century:
Architectural design
The performance space of the Roman circus was normally, despite its name, an oblong rectangle of two linear sections of race track, separated by a median strip running along the length of about two thirds the track, joined at one end with a semicircular section and at the other end with an undivided section of track closed (in most cases) by a distinctive starting gate known as the carceres, thereby creating a circuit for the races. The Circus of Maxentius epitomises the design.

CIRCUS
by: Kidz Bop KidsI cannot get the news on screen
A headfuck day in day out
Dumb shit of a hypocrite in pain
Been re-elected not respected
War is not an action game!
Rise with me - against the control
Proud we'll be - the other side
Raise your fist - against the control
Support, all you anarchists
Rock their butts to pieces
I ain't fucked up, do resist
Take your stand - against the control
Hand by hand - the other side
Take a ride - against the control
Hit them from the inner side
Rock their butts to pieces
I ain't fucked up, do resist
Cry when you feel the same!
Step by step in your own trap
On a one way track - it goes on and on again
And they're sending it again and again
A disgusting spot with the flames
That burn as Bush fires hot
Hit the Christian, hit the nation
