Best Answer

A Roman litter was basically a carrying platform. It was a rectangular board with long side poles which were raised on the shoulders of slaves to transport people or goods. If it were a litter used by people, it generally had an awning with side curtains and the inside was lined with cushions. The wealthier the person, the more luxuriously, the litter. If it were used for carrying goods into the city, it was simply a basic board with poles.
