Where did chariot racing take place in Ancient Rome?

Answer 1

Moreover, the races here were held exclusively for the mentioned religious occasion. The place was also used as a market and the popular assemblies often met here.

The word "circus" meant racetrack, so any structure or area with circus in its name was a place to hold chariot races or horseback races The emperor Caligula was said to have built a private race course.
