Roman Chariot and horse (UEB Uncontracted)

Synopsis

This image shows a side view of a horse harnessed to a chariot, which is being driven by a charioteer. The horse is on the right side of the page, with the chariot and charioteer on the left. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The horse is facing towards the right so only one ear, eye and nostril can be found. Its mouth is open and around its face it wears a bridle. Along the top of the horse's neck is its mane. At the base of the horse's neck, around its shoulders, is part of the harness of the chariot and the shaft which attaches to the chariot. Moving up from the shaft is the horse's body and tail, and moving down from the shaft are the horse's legs. This horse is trotting and is attached to the base of the chariot by the shaft to the left. In the bottom left of the image, one of the chariot's two wheels can be found. Up from this is the charioteer. He is heavily armoured. He holds both of his arms out in front of him towards the right and in his hand nearest the chariot he holds the horse's reins. These lead to the horses bridle. The charioteer's other hand is waving a whip. To the left is the charioteer's head, looking to the right, so only one eye can be found. He wears a metal helmet with decorative feathers along the top.
