Regarding Wellington Arch. A quadriga (Latin quadri-, four, and iugum, yoke) is a chariot drawn by four horses abreast (the Roman Empire's equivalent of Ancient Greek tethrippon). It was raced in the Ancient Olympic Games and other contests. The sculpture depicts Nike, the winged goddess of victory, descending on the chariot of war, holding the classical symbol of victory and honour, a laurel wreath. It is the largest bronze sculpture in Europe.
