I am going to run a chariot race game for the local group. I would like to find some pictures that I could use as backdrop with scenes of Stadium/Circus Maximus. We're going to do this on a 12 x 6' table but I can always expand or stretch out what I find.. Can somebody point me to pictures on the web that I might use to help make this backdrop. It can be actual historical or wargame scenes Thanks much |

Several decades ago we used a large film poster of Ben Hur as an advertising backdrop for our chariot racing game. |

Do a google search on "Roman Crowd". There are a couple pics in there you could blow up for a back drop. |

"roman audience" Turned up things like:
I would think screen captures from the right movies would also be a good source. |

This may not help, but a pretty cool chariot mosaic was discovered recently in Cyprus – link Maybe there are better pics floating around the net that would help for your set-up; anyway a great find and I look forward to seeing the whole thing uncovered. |
