Historical background
Light two-wheeled chariots were the weapon of the elite in Egypt and the Near East in the 2nd millennium BC. In the game's period mainly the Britons still fought with them: Caesar describes in 55 and 54 BC how their warriors threw javelins from the chariot, jumped down and fought on foot while the drivers stood ready for retreat. The Caledonians still used chariots at Mons Graupius in AD 83.
