We show that the type TZ of Z-torsors has the dependent universal property of the circle, which characterizes it up to a unique homotopy equivalence. The construction uses Voevodsky's Univalence Axiom and propositional truncation, yielding a stand-alone construction of the circle not using higher inductive types.
