Trivia[]
- "Hippódromos" means "horse/chariot racing track" in Ancient Greek.
- The concept behind the Hippódromos is that the Byzantine Empire was famous for its horse races and many racing tracks. Normal Byzantine people's enthusiasm for horse racing even triggered the Nika Riots which shook the whole empire.
- The in-game appearances of the Hippódromos is likely based on the Hippodrome of Constantinople. Built in 203 AD, the Hippodrome of Constantinople was the most important hippodrome of the Byzantine Empire, making it a center of social life for the city. The Nika Riots were also originated from here.
