   The Carpentum Mulare, or covered chariot, with two mules, is a type of consecration. [See Carpentum—Consecrativ—Thensa.]  One of these with the epigraph S.P.Q.R. IVLIAE AVGVST., in honour of Livia, appears on a first brass of Tiberius.—A funeral biga of mules appears on large brass of Agrippina, wife of Germanicus; and of Domitilla, wife of Vespasian, with the word MEMORIAE preceeding their respective names.—The same type appears on a silver coin of  Marciana, Trajan's sister, with the epigraph CONSECRATIO; and also on a first brass of Faustina senior.—A carpentum, drawn by two mules, appears on a rare first bras of Juia Titi, struck after her death, under the 15th consulate of Domitian, and which by the sacred title of DIVA prefixed to her name, proves that that princess had been placed by her "incestuous uncle" in the rank of divinities.—But we see other instances, as the intelligent author of Lecons de Numsmatique Romaine says, that "the car and pair of mules were not exclusively appropriated to designate consecrations."
