An ancient Greek two-person wooden frame or yoke used to carry objects on the shoulders.
From Greek 'diaulos' (double pipe or passage), possibly derived from 'dia-' (double/through) and 'aulos' (pipe), reflecting the dual nature of the carrying frame.
This humble Greek carrying device shows how people solved logistics problems centuries ago—it's basically an ancient barbell that two people could use to transport heavy loads like wine amphorae or grain sacks together.
