In ancient Roman contexts, drawn by or relating to two horses, especially describing a chariot or carriage pulled by a pair of horses.
From Latin 'bi-' (two) and 'jugatus,' meaning yoked. Used in classical and numismatic terminology to describe two-horse chariots.
Roman coins actually advertised power through imagery of how many horses pulled your chariot—bigates were impressive but trigates (three horses) were even more prestigious, creating a whole status hierarchy literally stamped on currency.
