The size of the Lageion was 615 meter with curvature on both ends and its tracks were 568 meter in length as indicated by the records during the Napoleonic expeditions. Following the Hellenistic model for such structure, it had tiered seats that were built on top of a system of parallel walls. The structure was similar to the hippodrome built at Cyrene and the Circus Maximus constructed in Rome during Julius Caesar and Augustus time.
