A chariot was found in Pompeii. Elegant and light, amazing for the refinement of the erotic themed decorations in tin and bronze, again with the traces of the cushions and the imprint of two ears of wheat left on the seat (ANSA / US) © ANSA
Elegant and light, amazing for the complexity and refinement of the erotic themed decorations in tin and bronze, still with the traces of cushions, ropes, even the imprint of two ears of corn left on a seat.
In Pompeii, the excavations of the villa of Civita Giuliana return an extraordinary parade float perhaps destined for the cult of Ceres and Venus or more probably for an aristocrat wedding ceremony, 27 February 2021. It could be a Pilentum, an ancient ceremonial chariot used by the elites.
