Circus of Maxentius, the towers and starting gates, erected between 306-312, Via Appia, Rome

            The towers would have contained the mechanism for raising the carceres (starting gates), which were positioned on an arcuated course between the towers.

The Circus of Maxentius is the best-preserved of the Roman chariot circuses. It lies outside the city of Rome, just off the Appian Way. This circus was part of a complex including a villa built by the short-lived Emperor Maxentius, who was defeated and killed by Constantine the Great at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 A.D. This circus could house approximately 10,000 spectators
