Children loved to play with toys in #Roman times too: a painted wooden toy #horse on wheels. The head is pierced at the eye for a pull-string. I can still remember my pull along dog and how I used to take him for walks in the yard.
From Karanis, #Egypt, Roman period, 1st- 4th c. AD.

@Nina Willburger very cute, with a saddle, too! :-)

Don't give the Iranians ideas...

@appassionato @ninawillburger

Well, Iran did put a hedgehog on a cart. (From about 2700BCE, excavated from Susa.)

@shaknais @ninawillburger

But did the stuff it?

@appassionato @ninawillburger

Afraid not. But it did come in three different forms. Do you want the lion, hedgehog, or bird?

@shaknais @ninawillburger

I meant the Greek version...
