Abstract
The fame of Cappadocia as a region of origin of valuable race horses, destined for military purposes and “ludi” “circenses”, is well known, while much less known is the presence of beasts of burden, documented from the Hellenistic age to the Late Antiquity and used in transport of people and items over long, medium and short distances, but also used to alleviate men’s efforts during agricultural activities. This paper is dedicated to the beasts of burden in Hellenistic and Roman Cappadocia.File in questo prodotto:
