A quadriga is a remarkable chariot or carriage drawn by a team of four horses, often harnessed abreast. This iconic form of conveyance held profound significance in the ancient cultures of Rome and Greece.
In ancient Rome, the quadriga wasn't just a mode of transportation; it carried immense symbolic and ceremonial weight. It featured prominently in triumphal processions, chariot races held in the grand Circus Maximus, and various other grand events. For the Romans, it became a symbol of victory, a representation of both the physical triumph of the charioteer and the authority and power of the individual riding it. Emperors, victorious generals, and even deities were often depicted in artworks and sculptures, mounted on these impressive four-horse carriages to underscore their achievements.
The quadriga symbolized much more than just winning races. It embodied the concept of triumph itself, both in military conquests and sporting events. It was a symbol of glory and prestige.
