    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

      If it’s from the thread I’m thinking of, that’s exactly what the question was. It was an askhistorians thread about how so many people were able to get to the coliseum in Rome and someone literally asked if they had a parking lot for chariots

            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.
