minus-square@driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilinkEnglish168•edit-21 year agoThis reminds me of that AskHistorian thread of someone asking where people parked their chariots when Roman citizens went to the coliseum.
minus-squareNeatolinkfedilink27•1 year agoHeh. Their palanquin or litter would drop them off and go sit in an alley or street somewhere, probably. Like how carriages in later centuries would.
minus-square@dustyData@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish7•1 year agoPalanquins were used only by noble families, if even. Less than 1% of the population and even less than that of the amount of people who would assist to the coliseum were carried there. Almost everyone just walked.

minus-square@driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilinkEnglish28•1 year agoIirc, chariots where only used to transport people and goods between towns and cities, being pretty rare inside cities if not completely forbidden.
