Trigarium became a generic word for an equestrian training ground, as evidenced by inscriptions. For instance, a charioteer in Roman Africa who died during a race was buried in the nearby trigarium. Pliny uses the word to mean equestrian exercise generally: he describes a fortified water or sports drink, prepared with powdered goat dung and vinegar, that was drunk by Nero "when he wanted to strengthen himself for the trigarium." Pliny asserts that Italian horses were superior for the exercises of the trigarium. | Trigarium became a generic word for an equestrian training ground, as evidenced by inscriptions.
