Salvete Omnes,
for long time I have been thinking about posting something about the Celtic chariot of the Iron Age.
While looking at the photos of the 2018 exhibit in Italy - A cavallo del tiemp - on display at the Lemon House in Florence, Italy, I came across this amazing stele from Museo Civico in Padua. (all images from Wiki Commons).
The object come from pre-Roman period, when the Veneti people fought and traded with the Cisalpine Celtic people west, south, north and north-east of their own Veneto.

Mike Loades has this article on his page - about reconstructing the Iron Age Celtic Chariot.
On Academia.org there are many articles about the chariot of the Celts.
eg Celtic chariot in Bulgaria.
from Chariot to Cavalry.
Newbridge, Scotland chariot - on page 60 detailed reconstruction drawings of this chariot (including dimensions).
