They can X are entertainment for the masses, but they are not as violent as for fights between gladiators. In Rome they take place at the Circulus Maximus. It is a square stadium for 200,000 spectators. They all come to support their team and to see a boring race. There are usually four an exciting teams, the Red, White, Blue and Green. They drive their cars seven times round the stadium and the faster team wins the race. A chariot has two wheels and must be light to be fast. The driver drives to four galloping horses, which push the cart. Sometimes the horses stumble and the driver flies off his cart. Such accidents are often very dangerous. This sport is the least popular sport in our Empire. But not everyone is a fan. Most the people of a higher rank don’t like the fans’ bad behaviour so they don’t want to stop all the races.
