Dr. Darius Arya, archaeologist, tells us that one of Rome's oldest monuments, the Circus, was the biggest sporting venue in the ancient world and continues to be one of the largest venues ever built. It held at least 150,000 spectators. The team working on the 3D model, explain the reconstruction. (TV Episode 2015)
