Such a coin would not take a part in my main collection, but that would not stop me from obtaining one, if the price was right. Report this Post to the Staff

It was not as commonly encountered as the biga (two-horse) and quadriga (four-horse), but yes, the triga (three-horse chariot) was employed. The place on the Campus Martius outside Rome where charioteers were trained was known as the Trigarium. That Wikipedia page reports that, according to an early mediaeval historian, when used symbolically (as is commonly found on coinage) a biga symbolized the moon, a quadriga symbolized the sun, while a triga symbolized the gods of the Underworld. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
