The Circus Flaminius was a race-track in Ancient Rome. It was near to a temple of Poseidon, a Greek mythical god of the sea. The Circus Flaminius is one of the three partly extant Roman arenas. It was built by Flaminius Nepos in 221 BC. It is located in the southern part of campus Martius. The things that happened here were the Ludi Plebeii (Plebeian Games), and also, Ludi Saeculares. People also assembled here. The circus was abandoned toward the end of first Century AD.
