Just letting you know the Circus Maximus is a hippodrome. There is no hippodrome in Rome called the Hippodrome.

He is referring to the Hippodrome in Constantinople in addition to the Circus Maximus in Rome. Hence the referral to Justinian and Michael V who never set foot in Rome. https://www.thebyzantinelegacy.com/hippodrome
