The Horses of Saint Mark in Venice. A quadriga is a car or chariot drawn by four horses abreast and favoured for chariot racing in classical antiquity and the Roman Empire.The word derives from the Latin quadrigae, a contraction of quadriiugae, from quadri-: four, and iugum: yoke.
The chariot is based on Roman models, not native British or Iceni models, and has a scythe blade attached to each wheel. The queen stands upright, in a flowing gown, with a spear in her right hand and her left hand raised. Her daughters, with bared breasts, crouch in the chariot, one to either side of their mother.
