The Roman Circus of Milan: A Symbol of Power

The Roman Circus of Milan was an ancient amphitheater built during the Tetrarchy of Diocletian, around the 3rd to 4th centuries. It was the largest Roman circus built during the Tetrarchy and was a symbol of great economic and military power, as few Roman cities could boast of owning such a structure. The circus was located near Milan's Imperial Palace, and Emperor Maximian could reach his private imperial box through a reserved passage directly connecting the palace to the circus without ever stepping outside. Today, only scattered remnants of the Roman Circus survive, including part of the southwestern curve, discovered at Via Circo and Via Vigna, isolated from neighboring buildings and visible from the courtyard of modern buildings.
