| Name: | Race Course | |
| Description: | The remains of two successive stadia (race tracks) lie beneath the Roman forum. The apheteria (starting blocks) of both, lie directly to the west of the Julian Basilica. The orientation of the two phases is different and show that the line of course changed in the Hellenistic period from a southwesterly direction to a more westerly line. The total length of the tracks is unknown; the ancient stade ranged from 177 m. and 192 m. according to chronological period and geographical location. | |
