Like a scene from "Ben Hur": For #ReliefWednesday a terracotta relief depicting an accident at a chariot-race at the Circus Maximus.
The famous circus in #Rome can be recognised due to the seven movable dolphins on the central dividing barrier, the so-called spina. They were used to count the laps.
Chariot-racing was one of the most popular forms of entertainment in Roman times. The relief dates to the 1st century AD.
