Chariot

Chariots were used in both peace and war periods and it was a type of carriage. The chariots were usually light, fast, and two-wheeled drawn by two or more horses hitched side by side. The chariot was driven by a charioteer. It was a rather uncomfortable form of transport as the chariot had no suspension. At the front and sides of the basket there was a semicircular guard to provide protection from enemies’ attack, while it was open at the back making it easy to mount and dismount. There was no seat, and generally room just for the driver.

Due to the rocky terrain of the Greek mainland, chariots were not very popular in wars but were used extensively in games (like races) and festivals.
