A quadriga is a chariot drawn by four horses abreast, commonly used in ancient Roman and Greek races, processions, and military triumphs. It was often associated with victory and divine power, frequently depicted in classical art, coins, and sculptures. In Roman triumphs, victorious generals or emperors would ride quadrigas as a symbol of their success. The term is also used in modern times to describe similar four-horse chariots in artistic and architectural representations, such as the famous Quadriga atop the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
