minus-squaredriving_croonerlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up174arrow-down2·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-squareNeato@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up27·1 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-squaredustyData@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 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-squareSwedneck@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoi’d be very surprised if some people with carts didn’t set up an impromptu bus service for events
minus-squareDragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11arrow-down1·1 year agoWell? Where did they?
minus-squaredriving_croonerlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28arrow-down1·1 year agoIirc, chariots where only used to transport people and goods between towns and cities, being pretty rare inside cities if not completely forbidden.
minus-squareadrian783@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoso… they park them at city limits? it’s a good question
minus-squarePatapon Enjoyer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·edit-21 year agoTrick question. They didn’t, the chauffeur did it for them.
