Chariots and Other Wheeled Vehicles in Iron Age Greece

Portada
Allard Pierson Museum, 1992 - 139 pàgines
This study presents evidence for transport by wheeled vehicle in Greece during the Iron Age - largely the Proto-Geometric, Geometric, Orientalising, Archaic and Classical periods (c.1050-330 BC). Sources of information are extensive, with representations from vase paintings, stone and bronze sculpture, and textual sources, such as Homer and inscriptions. Information from archaeological remains is however limited. Crouwel begins by discussing the evidence for roads and draught animals, and then gives a detailed account of chariots, other vehicles, and the history of wheeled vehicles in Iron Age Greece.
