Summary[edit]
DescriptionUc2.ark 13960 t8rb76g72-seq 369 (cropped Roman circus).jpg |
English: Circus; with chariot-race going on. A most accurate representation of the arrangement of the building, showing the central division (spina) with its dolphin fountains, and the conical metae, the globes on which droppped successively at each turn of the racers around them. Astarte on her lion, so conspicuously placed on the spina, being the tutelary goddess of Carthage, would lead to the conjecture that we see here the Circus of that important capital. Sard, much enlarged in the drawing; found at the Chesters (Binovium), and now (1885) in the possession of Mr. Clayton, whom I have to thank for the use of this most interesting illustration. |
