quadriga
Ancient Roman vehicle
A quadriga is an ancient chariot drawn by four horses abreast, used in Roman triumphal processions and races.
The image appears frequently in classical art and architecture—bronze quadrigas crown monuments like the Brandenburg Gate and the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.
The emperor rode in a golden quadriga through the streets of Rome.
