To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two horses were attached to a coach in the same way with the exception that a pole or tongue was used in place of shafts. Only when three or four animals Digitized by VjOOQ IC 68 Travel Among the Ancient Romam were* hitched to a vehicle, did the outside ones draw with traces* Usual Mode of TraveUng As a rule, the Romans made their journeys in vehicles, two-wheeled and four-wheeled, covered and uncovered, and drawn by one, two, or more animals.
They were equipped with brakes or drag-chains to re...lieve the pressure upon the horses in steep declivi- ties. These conveyances were kept for hire near the gates of all important towns but unfortunately the prices are not known. It is probable that travelers on long trips used their own vehicles but hired fresh teams whenever necessary. Roman couriers and of- ficials could take advantage of tiie post routes where teams were changed at regular intervals ; there were usually no such arrangements for the ordinary traveler. They, who went short distances and traveled at their leisure, generally used their own conveyances and animals.
