THE CIRCUS AGONALIS, NOW KNOWN AS PIAZZA NAVONA IN ROME

The space currently occupied by one of Rome’s most beautiful squares, Piazza Navona, was originally a 275-meter-long stadium commissioned by Emperor Domitian in 80 CE. It is the only known example of a masonry stadium built in the Greco-Roman era, and was the only one in ancient Rome to host Olympic-like gymnastic competitions interspersed with literary and musical contests.

Domitian was the third emperor from the gens Flavia, a short-lived dynasty that ascended to the roman throne in 69 CE at the end of a civil war which is called the Year of the Four Emperors – Galba, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian.
Galba was the one who became emperor after Nero committed su***de, having been declared a public enemy due to his madness and an uprising in Gaul which began when he imposed high taxes to fund the reconstruction of Rome after the great fire of 64 CE.
Galba was killed six and half months later by Otho, an Etruscan who had been banished to a faraway province when Nero had fallen in love with his wife Poppaea. Otho tried to quell the revolt in Gaul, but when he lost 40,000 men in a single battle committed su***de.
Vitellius was the commander of the forces who defeated Otho; he came from a family with a dubious past, was recognized as emperor by the armies of the northern provinces, but his rule was contested by the eastern flank who wanted Vespasian instead, a rich plebeian of solid Latin stock who was successfully suppressing the Jewish revolt in Judea. The two eventually fought each other in Rome, then under siege by Vespasian's forces. When Vitellius understood that all was lost he hid in a small service room near the entrance of his palace, tying a dog to the front of the door which he locked by wedging a bed against it. He was eventually found, chained and brought to the infamous Gemonian stairs near the forums, where Vespasian's supporters literally tore him to pieces.

Vespasian manged to rule for ten whole years, during which he survived several assassinations attempts and set the foundations for the colosseum, funding the project with the spoils from the sack of Jerusalem. He eventually contracted an illness which caused a violent and enduring form of diarrhoea, and died while getting up from the toilet muttering that an emperor should die standing up.
He was succeeded by his eldest son Titus, the first natural heir of a roman emperor to become emperor himself. He was a good man liked by many, who supervised the relief operations following the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum by donating large quantities of money, opening his villa to refugees, and going there himself, twice, though during his second visit another huge fire erupted in Rome and he was forced to return in a hurry. He also completed the construction of the colosseum, which he inaugurated by offering 100 continuous days of entertainment including gladiator and exotic animal fights, the ex*****on of criminals, and the recreation of famous battles.
He died right after, en route to his summer villa, overcome by a sudden fever and a violent bout of diarrhoea which some historians have attributed to the poison of a small fish mixed in his plate by his brother Domitian, who also suggested he enter a potentially lethal ice bath. Whatever the case, his brother became emperor and immediately turned Titus into a god.

Which brings me back to Piazza Navona, and the stadium built by Domitian. The idea came to him while spending time at the baths built by Nero near the pantheon, which were surrounded by a large gymnasium and an enormous park. Since a large part of the area had been burned in the previous fires, he decided to beautify it by building the stadium that at the time included a musical Odeon at the short flat end of today’s piazza. He then instituted the Agones Capitolini games, which happened every four years like the Olympiads and ended up transforming the roman calendar.
He launched them each year wearing a golden crown and a purple Greek-style toga, and rewarded each winner personally by placing a similar crown on their heads. They came from all corners of the empire, and competed in all sorts of sports but also artistic endeavours like poetry, music, theatre, comedy and historical oratory. Not all romans liked the sport competitions, which they considered vulgar since, like in Greece, they were played on the n**e, but competitors dressed up after Domitian died and the stadium remained in use for the next 400 years.

After that the stadium slowly fell into disrepair, its structure looted of building materials or absorbed into the foundations of the palaces that were built under the outside arches. A small church was eventually built where St Agnes had been martyred, the underground chambers became a subterranean red-light district, while the seating area and the inner court remained nearly intact for the next 1000 years, used to host the thrilling jousting tournaments.
At this stage the inner structure was still entirely closed, with only one street running along the short flat side of the large central court, used by the pope to move between St. Peter and the oldest public church in Rome, the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran.
And so it was that in 1485 Pope Innocent VIII opened the stadium by building two access roads and moved Rome’s main market here, which had till then been held in Piazza del Campidoglio. Houses started to be built over the stadium’s seating area, and around 100 years later Pope Gregory XIII commissioned the two fountains at either end of the square, one a relatively simple basin designed to quench the thirst of transport animals, the other a slightly more ornate affair for humans to use and enjoy.
100 years after that pope Innocent X decided it was time for a beautiful monument, and the astounding central fountain was built by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. How this came about is the subject of my next post.
