Triptolemus is a figure from Greek mythology who is often associated with agriculture and the spreading of knowledge about farming. He is frequently depicted riding in a chariot pulled by dragons or serpents, symbolizing his divine mission to teach humanity the art of agriculture. This chariot imagery emphasizes his role in transporting the gifts of the earth and the importance of agricultural practices in ancient society. Thus, the connection lies in his chariot serving as a vehicle for his agricultural teachings and divine influence.

Although they were not as bad as gladiators, Chariot races were extremely violent. For example, if they were knocked off, they could be trampled to death by the horses.

The hardcore band The Chariot formed in the year 2003 with the founding members Josh Scogin, David Kennedy, Brandon Henderson, and Stephen Harrison, shortly after Scogin left the band Norma Jean.

Derek Sanderson was the first player EVER to sign a million dollar contract, however he didn't have the highest annual salary. The total worth of the contract was the most. For Example, A-Rod signed a 300 million dollar deal in baseball. If say Manny Ramirez signed a 2 year 65 million dollar deal, Manny would average more per season, while A-Rods total contract was more.

Not a phrase but a single word: the usual term for a chariot race is curriculum, from currus meaning a chariot. You asked for the plural form - curricula.

The chariot races were held during religious festivals which included ludi (games) circenses. These games were named after the Circus Maximus, Rome's chariot race track because they were held there and included chariot races. These were the Ludi Romani, in honour of Jupiter (it originally lasted one day and was later extended to three days and to eight days), the equirria, which was held twice a year in honour of Mars, the Ludi Consulalia the festival in honour to Consus, a god who was a protector of grains and of secret councils, which was held twice a year and the Floralia, which lasted six days, in honour of Flora, the goddess of flowers. These games also included other events, such as acrobatic displays, dances and theatrical competitions (ludi scaenici).

Chariot races were held at a circus. In Rome the main Chariot Racing circus was the Circus Maximus, which, after the enlargement by Julius Caesar, could hold 250,000 people.

you have to wait for the ref to drop a white cloth to start, many people died form such races. Laps were normally between 7-10, and take around 15 minutes to complete the race. Most chariot races had knives to free themselves if a chariot was to crash and they were to get tangled up.

A biga is a Roman racing chariot drawn by two horses abreast.

Charioteers were the men who drove the racing chariots, or any chariot for that matter. In the case of ancient Rome, the charioteers could be likened to today's race car drivers.

The Romans used chariots for chariot races, which were the most popular form of entertainment together with the gladiatorial games. The chariot races were held at the racing track, which was called circus. The one in Rome was called Circus Maximus. The name of the chariot racing track in Constantinople was Greek: hippodrome. Chariot races were often part of religious games which were called ludi (games) circenses, which meant games which involved chariot races. Circenses was derived from circus. Chariots were also used for the triumphal parades of victorious military commanders. In the early days of Rome aristocratic women travelled around the city in chariots, but then this ended.

The Greeks and the Romans never adopted the chariot for warfare. This was probably because it did not suit the mountainous terrain of their homelands. Chariots were first used militarily in western Asia, by the Assyrians of Mesopotamia (Iraq and Syria) and the Hittites of northern and central Anatolia (Turkey). The Persians and the Egyptians also adopted them. This use started around 2000 BC and peaked around 1300 BC. The military use of the chariot in this part of the world ended when Alexander the Great defeated Darius III (the king of the Persians) at the Battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) during his conquest of Persia. The mounted cavalry had become more effective and agile than the chariot and outsmarted the charioteers.

In Europe it was the Gauls who used the chariot for warfare. The Gauls of northern Italy used chariots against the Romans in the Battle of Sentinum (295 BC), but were defeated.

The winner of a chariot race got prize money. Some oft he most highly paid athletes of the ancient world were the charioteers with a Spaniard driver named Diocles who, over his 24 years of driving amassed a fortune of 35,863,120 sesterces in prize money.
