The Roman cart, known as a "plaustrum" or "carpentum," was an essential vehicle in ancient Rome, used for various purposes, including transportation of goods, agricultural products, and people. These carts were typically constructed from wood and were designed to be robust and functional. They featured two or four wheels and were drawn by oxen, horses, or mules. The design of Roman carts varied depending on their specific use: simpler two-wheeled carts were common for everyday transportation and agricultural tasks, while more elaborate, four-wheeled carriages were used by the wealthy for travel and ceremonial occasions. Some carts had coverings to protect against the elements, while others were open. The efficient use of carts and wagons played a vital role in the economic and logistical operations of the Roman Empire, facilitating trade, agriculture, and the movement of people and military supplies across the vast network of Roman roads.
