CHARIOT Meaning and Definition

  1. A chariot is a type of ancient wheeled vehicle, typically drawn by horses, used for transportation and warfare. It is characterized by its open structure, consisting of two wheels connected by an axle and a platform, often with a protective covering or railings around the platform.

    Historically, chariots were primarily used in combat, serving as a fast and maneuverable war machine. They originated around the second millennium BC and were prominent in various ancient civilizations, particularly in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and among the Hittites, Greeks, and Romans. Chariots played a crucial role on the battlefield, providing a platform for archers, spearmen, or other warriors to attack enemies. The speed, mobility, and firepower of chariots made them a formidable force.

    Beyond warfare, chariots were also used for ceremonial purposes or as a symbol of power and wealth. In these cases, chariots were often elaborately decorated and adorned with precious metals and gems, showcasing the status and prestige of the individual riding it. They could be pulled by horses, oxen, or other animals depending on the region and time period.

    Although chariots are now largely obsolete as a mode of transportation, they represent an important aspect of ancient history and continue to be a popular subject in literature, art, and mythology, often associated with glory, heroism, and epic tales.

  2. A light kind of coach with a front seat only; a war-coach; a car.
