Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary, and Greek Lexicon (Rich, 1849)

DECEM'JUGIS, sc. currus. A chariot drawn by ten horses, all of which were yoked abreast of one another, and not attached as leaders and wheelers, according to our practice. Nero is said to have driven a ten-horsed car at the Olympic games (Suet. Nero, 24.), and Trajan had the same number of horses attached to his triumphal car, which is represented by the illustration (Decemjugis/1.1), from a medal of that emperor.
