I've always been quite terrified by war chariots. No idea why though, i would have been on the right side of them :)

@theerasmussoldier you could say the same about many other famous generals and heroes. Alexander, Napoleon, Nelson, etc. Facts are facts though. Caesar did beat Pompey, who named himself Magnus, in a civil war after having conquered all of Gaul. No mean feat as Gaul was warlike and territorially enormous. He made such an impression on the Germans that they used the title Kaesar for ages. Good politician he was but a unique strategist and tactician also for sure.

@Grimrippa1 well 'even for him', Caesar wasn't actually a jenius military stratagist, but he was a very uniek politician and he could wrigth things in such a way that even if he lost a battle or something he could say it in a way as if he actualy won it. and most things we know about his battles came from written things wrritten by him, like the 'bellum gallorum'. and of course he wants to look good for the people of Rome.

@Artyom2012 when Caesar visited Britain, the Brits already had chariots... hundreds of them, which proved to be a pain in the neck even for him...

@Artyom2012 they build them by using wood, plus they would of already had them before the romans attacked,

[Artyom2012]

Who would explain me how came that the poor Brittish people being so sacked with Roman taxation still had enough resources to rise a massive army of chariots? :-)

To say the truth, celtic nobles had some chariots (limos of their days), as many peoples used them before learning horseback riding. But there were few of them and they were completely worhthless in warfare for millenia by then.
