Auriga (constellation)
Auriga is a constellation in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is one of the 88 modern constellations; it was among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy. Its name is Latin for '(the) charioteer', associating it with various mythological beings, including Erichthonius and Myrtilus. Auriga is most prominent during winter evenings in the northern Hemisphere, as are five other constellations that have stars in the Winter Hexagon asterism. Because of its northern declination, Auriga is only visible in its entirety as far south as -34°; for observers farther south it lies partially or fully below the horizon. A large constellation, with an area of 657 square degrees, it is half the size of the largest, Hydra. Its brightest star, Capella, is an unusual multiple star system among the brightest stars in the night sky. Beta Aurigae is an interesting variable star in the constellation; Epsilon Aurigae, a nearby eclipsing binary with an unusually long ...

In ancient Rome, chariot racing was a favorite past time. A successful charioteer’s prize earnings in a day could surpass a teacher’s annual earnings. Most charioteers were slaves, and many were foreigners, who entered the sport to garner fame and fortune. Aurigas were also employed as charioteers for important men. The auriga would drive a '' biga'', the light vehicle powered by two horses, to transport some important Romans, mainly '' duces'' (military commanders). An auriga was a sort of "chauffeur" for important men and was carefully selected from among trustworthy slaves only. It has also been speculated that this name was given to the slave who held a laurel crown, during Roman Triumphs, over the head of the ''dux'', standing at his back but continuously whispering in his ears "{{lang, la, Memento Mori ''Memento mori'' (Latin for 'remember that you ave todie'
