Abstract
In the previous study that authors mentioned on the investigation into oxcart of the Ephesus museum, authors noticed that the state of assembling of wheels to axle was strange. That is, the wedges (lynchpins) did not fit tightly against wheels and large clearance existed between them. In this study, authors report two kinds of solid circular plate wheels that were found accidentally in the backyard of the restaurant of Dinar (Apamea of ancient Greece era). Irrational state of Ephesus's wheel mentioned above will be made clear from the wheels found in Dinar.
