Quadriga depicted in the circus scene in the Roman mosaic from the 3rd century AD on display in the National Archaeological Museum (Museo Arqueológico Nacional) in Madrid, Spain. The green team (factio prassina) is victorious. Their admired steeds have performed splendidly, particularly the funalis horse on the left which is responsible for making close turns around the spina, the riskiest manoeuvre in the race.
