This reminds me of that AskHistorian thread of someone asking where people parked their chariots when Roman citizens went to the coliseum.

Iirc, chariots where only used to transport people and goods between towns and cities, being pretty rare inside cities if not completely forbidden.

Heh. Their palanquin or litter would drop them off and go sit in an alley or street somewhere, probably. Like how carriages in later centuries would.

Palanquins were used only by noble families, if even. Less than 1% of the population and even less than that of the amount of people who would assist to the coliseum were carried there. Almost everyone just walked.
