About this listen
High speed and high thrills races are something we usually think of when we’re chatting about Silverstone or the Grand Prix.
Celebrity drivers, highly engineered teams and arenas of fans might seem like a modern scene. But thanks to a piece of ancient graffiti carved into stone at a Roman villa, a window into a world over 2000 years ago is opened, one that sees chariot racers competing on an industrial scale.
James Grasby heads to Chedworth Roman Villa to find out what the Prasina Stone can tell us about sports today.
