Equirria
The Equirria (also as ''Ecurria'', from ''
*equicurria'', "horse races") were two ancient Roman festivals of chariot racing, or perhaps horseback racing,〔John H. Humphrey, ''Roman Circuses: Arenas for Chariot Racing'' (University of California Press, 1986), p. 560.〕 held in honor of the god Mars, one February 27 and the other March 14.

The Equirria took place in the Campus Martius, the "Field of Mars," outside the sacred boundary of Rome ''(pomerium)''.〔Ovid, ''Fasti'' 2.860; Jörg Rüpke, ''The Roman Calendar from Numa to Constantine: Time, History, and the Fasti'', translated by David M.B. Richardson (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011), p. 75.〕 The exact course is debated: perhaps near the Altar of Mars in the campus; or on the Tarentum, the site of the ''ludi tarentini'', which became the Saecular Games;〔Hendrik Wagenvoort, "The Origin of the Ludi Saeculares," in ''Studies in Roman Literature, Culture, and Religion'' (Brill, 1956), p. 224.〕 or the Trigarium.〔Humphrey, ''Roman Circuses'', pp. 560 and 684–685 (note 72). Robert E.A. Palmer, ''Studies of the Northern Campus Martius in Ancient Rome'' (American Philosophical Society, 1990), pp. 28–29, doubts that the Trigarium was ever anything but a practice field.〕 When the Tiber flooded, the Equirria were transferred to the ''Campus Martialis'' on the Caelian Hill, a field without permanent structures.〔Festus 117 in the edition of Lindsay; Ovid, ''Fasti'' 2.519–520; Gregory S. Aldrete, ''Floods of the Tiber in Ancient Rome'', pp. 38, 67, 79, 96; Robert E.A. Palmer, ''The Archaic Community of the Romans'' (Cambridge University Press, 2009), p. 150; Humphrey, ''Roman Circuses'', p. 560.〕
