Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 4th century CE. A gorgeous cast-bronze chariot fitting with a slightly flared, round socket, and an upper portion that branches into two symmetrical arms that resemble the heads of serpents. Roman chariots were not used for warfare, but instead in circuses and in triumphal processions. As a result, elaborate attachments like this became de rigeur, lending a unique look to each chariot, where they were mounted on posts above each wheel. The carriage was supported by leather straps wrapped around the shaft and guided by the projecting arms. This absorbed the vibrations of the wooden wheels, making the ride smoother. Imagine the sun flashing off of the dark, polished bronze that this would have had when made! Size: 3.55" W x 4.2" H (9 cm x 10.7 cm); 5.95" H (15.1 cm) on included custom stand.
