Assyrian Chariot
This picture shows an Assyrian chariot with four soldiers. This is unusual since there are normally two or three charioteers in a chariot. Here one soldier drives the chariot, another battles the enemies as archer, and two soldiers protect the other two with round shields against hostile arrows and bows.
