Discover the Great Circus in Rome with virtual reality:
The Great Circus in Rome may seem like an unremarkable public park today, but the lifeblood of history is imbued in its foundation – from ancient festivals to chariot races, this place was at the very heart of ancient Roman civilisation.
So what makes an outdoor stroll with virtual reality goggles so great? The incredible sense of disorientation fun as you are transported from modern Rome to its ancient counterpart. It’s something you’ll want to experience for yourself.
There are eight interactive stops during the tour.
You will travel back to the 8th century BC.э., when Romulus founded Royal Rome, right up to the time of the Roman Empire, when the Circus experienced its heyday as the largest stadium in the known world. In fact, even now, even if it were to go to full capacity, it would still hold the record with a potential maximum of 150,000 people!”
On the tour, your VR headset will allow you to watch the chariot race, and while it may not have the pageantry of the scenes from Ben Hur, it will give you an idea of just how grandiose the scale of the stadium was.
The tour is weather dependent due to the virtual reality headset – if it rains, all shows will be cancelled.
Standard opening hours change each season, so check in advance for dates and availability.
