Roman Carriage, Armies and Enemies of Ancient Rome
Romans used carriages. The carpentum was the bus or limousine of wealthy Romans. It had four wheels, a wooden arched rooftop, and was pretty comfortable, spacious, and nicely decorated inside. The carpentum had some kind of suspension and metal and leather straps which made the ride more comfortable. Roman carriages had iron-shod wheels (they did not have rubber then), which means that they made a lot of noise! Apparently carriages were forbidden in big cities such as Rome during the day, therefore, residents had to bear the sound of their wheels at night.
