Also note that roman carriages used for moving bulk goods like grain and lumber weighed about half a ton and had iron wheels, usually pulled by two horses or oxen weighing another half ton each, with iron shoes. That's 1.5 tons minimum that were used in the most common logistical vehicle in ancient rome without luxury of rubber tires.
