The Circus Maximus is an ancient Roman circus located in Rome. Situated in the valley between the Palatine and the Aventine, it is remembered as a site for games since the early history of the city: in the Murcia valley, according to the legend of the Consualia narrated by Livy, the mythical episode of the Rape of the Sabine Women took place, during the games organized by Romulus in honor of the god Consus, with donkey, horse, or mule races, which were also attended by non-competing equines dressed with floral ornaments and exempted from any work for that day.
