Why did they use eggs and dolphins at the Circus Maximus?
Near the ends of the spina there were two columns. The top of each column had a crossbar of marble. On one crossbar was mounted a line of marble eggs.

The dolphins were sacred to Neptune who was the patron of horses. Every time the chariots circled the course, an egg and a dolphin were removed so the crowd could tell how many laps had been run.
