Embark on an interactive virtual reality adventure that takes you back to ancient Rome. Explore its growth and transformation through a 3D augmented reality reconstruction. Meet the first King of Rome - Romulus, as he outlines the Murcia Valley in 753 BC, marking the birthplace of the first wooden amphitheatre dedicated to horse racing: the Circus Maximus.
Uncover the Forum Boarium, a bustling hub for livestock trade on the Tiber, and wander amongst fruit and vegetable stalls at the base of an already urbanised Rome. Following this initial exploration, you'll be transported into the Severan era where everything changes. Marvel at white and coloured marble structures, grand fountains, triumphal arches and catch a glimpse of the distant Colosseum. Experience Rome's peak splendour as you meander through streets adjacent to the Circus Maximus, rubbing shoulders with soldiers and ancient Romans.
Dive into the heart of the largest shopping centre in ancient Rome, once a social hotspot for the Roman people, brimming with taverns, diverse shops and stalls. After a brief respite, you'll be guided to where it all began: the carceres. Here, select your faction, choose your horse's colour, grab the controller and off you go. Race without hesitation, never looking back. If you stumble, dust yourself off and surge ahead of your competitors. With seven laps to complete for the top prize, will you emerge victorious?
