Abstract
Chariots were important weapons in ancient warfare for almost two millennia in Mesopotamia and Egypt.

The Etruscans, Latins and Picene tribes took rapidly to chariotry after its introduction into Italy in the 8th century B.C.—probably by Levantine interests which also persuaded Cyprus and Tartessian Spain to adopt chariots as part of an extensive aristocratic prestige system.
