In ancient Chariot Racing, two objects commonly used as lap counters were white and red objects, often referred to as "metae." These objects were typically placed at the starting point, with one color representing completed laps and the other indicating laps yet to be completed. Officials would move these markers to keep track of the racers’ progress throughout the event. This system allowed spectators and participants to easily gauge the status of the race.
