WHAT DOES BIGA MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Chariot

Biga

A chariot is a two-wheeled war chariot, driven by two horses, similar to a chariot. It was used during antiquity as a combat car, more specifically during the Bronze and Iron ages; it remained used with some adaptations like transport, in processions and in games as soon as it became obsolete in the military history. Some older models could even have four wheels, although these are not generally referred to as chariots. The invention that potentiated the construction of these lightweight cars for military purposes was the use of rims on the wheel. By this time most horses could not bear the weight of a man in combat; the original wild horse was, in fact, a large pony in size. The chariots were effective especially on flat and open grounds. The horses were gradually fed to become bigger and stronger. It was the use of chariots that later strengthened the emergence of cavalry in the military divisions. The wheel beacons with hoops date from about 2000 BC and their greatest use seems to have been around 1300 BC.

Uma biga é um carro de guerra de duas rodas, movido por dois cavalos, semelhante a uma quadriga. Foi usada durante a Antiguidade como carro de combate, mais especificamente durante as idades do Bronze e do Ferro; permaneceu sendo utilizada com algumas adaptações como transporte, em procissões e em jogos assim que se tornou obsoleta na história militar. Alguns modelos mais antigos podiam mesmo dispor de quatro rodas, embora estes não sejam geralmente referidos como bigas. A invenção que potenciou a construção destes leves carros para fins militares foi a utilização de aros na roda. Por esta altura, a maioria dos cavalos não conseguia suportar o peso de um homem em combate; o cavalo selvagem original era, na verdade, um grande pónei em tamanho. As bigas eram eficazes sobretudo em terrenos planos e abertos. Os cavalos eram gradualmente alimentados para se tornarem maiores e mais fortes. Foi a utilização das bigas que potenciou mais tarde o surgimento da cavalaria nas divisões militares. As bigas de roda com aros datam de cerca de 2000 a.C. e a sua maior utilização parece ter-se verificado a cerca de 1300 a.C..
