Post; Mycenaean Chariots


Hello
The Mycenaeans occupied most of Greece form the 17th century BC to the 12th century BC.
One of there most effective weapon was the chariot.
The Mycenaean chariot suffer an evolution thorough the period; one of those chariots was the dual chariot, that used two warriors.: a driver and a fighting man.
There is much controversy has were the driver wore armour or whether the fighting man was a archer or a spearman.
In this illustration we chose to portray the driver unarmoured and the fighting man as a spearman, although we must admit that it could have been different.
This chariot was used in the 16th century BC.

Yes, throughout history, and even with present day encounters the 'chariot' is always shown, although if it were me calling the shots, i'd want them both to have armor eh?
