In ancient Greece, carts played an essential role in transportation, agriculture, and trade. They were commonly used for hauling goods, carrying agricultural produce, and transporting people. Carts were an integral part of the everyday life of the Greeks, especially in rural areas where they facilitated the movement of goods between farms, markets, and cities. They were typically drawn by oxen, mules, or horses, with oxen being the most common draught animals due to their strength and endurance.
