An hippodrome.
Roman Emperors held gladiator battles and chariot races because they distracted the uneducated. They prevented revolts. They kept the poor entertained.

The word "hippodrome" come from two Greek words; "hippos" (horse) and "dromos" (course). It can roughly be translated as "the place for horse racing". In Roman times, one of the most important activities in the hippodromes were chariot races. There was a number of chariot teams, called by certain names, such as blues, greens, etc. These teams also represented different political opinion in Roman societies and eventually became very influential. Google "Nika Riots" for more information how the chariot teams of the Constantinople hippodrome started a big riot which was ended by a bloody massacre.

Originally there were just two factions (teams) in the Roman chariot races. One wore white (which was sacred to winter and red (sacred to summer). Then the blue (autumn) and green (spring) factions emerged as well. The emperor Domitian created two new factions, the Purples and Golds, but they did not survive his death.
Chariot racing was performed throughout the Roman Empire and Republic, and before. Countless numbers of men participated.In the Byzantine period, when the races were important to the cultural and political life of the Western Roman Capitol, Constantinople, there were four competing teams and one man would race for each of the teams:White,Blue,Red,GreenSome were more popular than others, and people supported the teams rather than a charioteer; when a charioteer switched teams, a person would not carry on supporting them.
