A Roman monument from Tyr, Lebanon


Postcard
These remains of an old Roman race track are located in the Lebanese city of Tyr. Situated approximately 50 miles south of Beirut, Tyr was founded by Phoenician settlers in the third millennium B.C.

“The Roman hippodrome, the largest in the world, will overwhelm you with its grandeur. You will be transported back into a bygone era as you envision the death-defying chariot races and hear the cheering crowd seated on the enormous stone stands.”
