A carved stone relief showing an scene with a chariot drawn by two horses. A figure holding the reins is seated at the front, driving the chariot, while another person is seated inside. The chariot has large spoked wheels and detailed engravings, and the horses appear in motion, suggesting travel or action.
Traveling in #Roman times: For #ReliefWednesday a relief depicting a carruca, a four-wheeled carriage drawn by two horses. Using a carruca was a rather comfortable way of travelling: the carriage body was suspended on leather straps - a kind of shock absorber. 🧵1/2
