What is Quadriga?
[[File:London Wellington Arch-20130715-RM-133515.jpg|thumb|A quadriga on top of [[Wellington Arch]], in [[London]].]] A '''quadriga''' is a [[vehicle]], with one [[axle|pole in the center]], that is pulled by four horses (or other animals). Unlike modern [[carriage]]s, the horses are all next to each other and none are in front of the others. The name is a contraction of ''quatuor'' ('four') and ''iugum'' ('joke'). Long ago, quadrigae were common in horse racing. Some [[Chariot|chariots]] were also quadrigae. {{Stub}} [[Category:Ancient Rome]] [[Category:Horse racing]] [[Category:Land transport]]
