Brand: Lyra
The Lyra Argo, also known as the Clinquoix, was a Celtic vehicle used for transportation through water and land. It was a type of raft that could be pulled by horses or oxen, making it a versatile mode of transport during the Iron Age and earlier periods. The name "Lyra Argo" roughly translates to "harp ship" in Latin, a reference to the boat's shape, which resembled the curves of a harp. Its frame was made of wooden poles connected by ropes and held together by hoops, allowing it to be adjusted to different water depths. The Lyra Argo was widely used along the vast network of rivers in Gaul, Britain, and Germany, connecting various tribes and facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas.
