as a result of these measures the closest equivalents of parking lots
unless this is the direct answer to a hilarious question about roman ‘parking lots’ this has to be the most car-brained way to explain the concept of stabling a horse i’ve ever read

You do not store carriages and carts with horses
you’re joking, right? yes you literally do, the draft animal is the thing that moved the damn cart. an unhitched carriage or wagon, while it doesn’t have to be physically inside a stable itself, it is not the same as a parked car, the bit that makes it go is in a stable.

Whats the source?
wierd theory , maybe this little urban tweak / tradition massivly contributet to the Roman success … as it forces the “Passiv income Class” into a “celebrety” kind of person and City Patron , (always watched and to be screamed at when somebody wants to endure the social cost) Thereby giving rise to the Massiv Populist Building Projects , in which they themself then could Legitimize their Landrents etc…
Drunk driving in ancient rome must have been fun
