The typical Roman plough was composed of a front part, the shaft, which the animal pulled, and a curved rear part, the handle, which was used to hold and steer the plough. Finally, there was the tongue of the plough with the iron share at its lower end, and it was this implement which was used to rip up and turn over the soil for cultivation.

L’arada romana estava formada per una part davantera, anomenada timó, que era la que estirava l’animal; una part posterior de forma corba a manera de mànec, anomenada esteva, que serveix d’agafall per dirigir la feina de l’arada; i la part de l’arada on trobem la rella o la punta que servia per clavar-se i remoure la terra.
