This is our reconstruction from evidence on painted ceramics of a Mycenean Greek kind called by some scholars a ‘rail chariot’, the film required swingletrees for the horsemaster’s use, so I made them to be readily removable.

I have here interpreted the trumpet-shaped extensions of the floor as basketwork stands.

These are different only in detail, due to the BBC’s requirements, the second built one incorporated bronze copies of the original terrets and linchpins

This is thought to be the first attempt at an accurate reconstruction of a racing Roman chariot.
