jan 15, 1500 - Middle ages

Description:

After the fall of Rome transport became more primitive. Roads in Europe returned to being simple dirt tracks, which turned to mud in the Winter. In the Middle Ages rich people sometimes traveled in covered wagons. They must have been very uncomfortable as they did not have suspension and roads were bumpy and rutted. Others traveled on a box between two poles. Two horses, one in front and one behind carried it. They were trained to walk at the same pace.
