'''Donkeys''' were beasts of burden. In [[Earth]]'s history, they were often used to pull carts. [[Rose Tyler|Rose]] rode in such a donkey-drawn cart when visiting the [[Roman Empire]] in about [[120]] [[AD]]. The [[Tenth Doctor]], then separated from Rose, also made use of donkeys to travel. Like [[horse]]s, donkeys were often kept in stables; [[Roman]]s, at least, needed to keep a vast, informal network of stables along well-travelled routes. This allowed passengers to rest their donkeys at regular intervals, and it gave travellers specific points at which they could negotiate for the sale or hire of donkeys. At one of these stables, the Doctor said that horses were "better" than donkeys, intimating that donkeys were relatively slower. Donkeys were also distinct from [[mule]]s, but neither the Doctor nor any of his friends and acquaintances gave any particulars. ([[ | '''Donkeys''' were beasts of burden.
