Note
Dates to c. 3rd century CE. This pair of statues were discovered at different times during excavations of the Yasmina cemetery at Carthage. The charioteer was found in 1981 by Annabi and the charioteer's wife was found by Naomi Norman in 1993. Dunbabin suggests that the man is in fact not a charioteer, but rather a sparsores, one who throws water onto the horses heads, due to the inclusion of the amphora instead of a palm branch (Dunbabin, 2016: p.157).
