No, I do not Use a Chariot!
The eques is a gladiator that fights on horseback, instead of by foot. The difference between the eques and the essedarius is the lack of a chariot within this battle. Eques would fight other eques in the arena. The weapons that were used by an eques were swords or spears. The combat in this ancient time period holds resemblance to jousting that occurred in Medieval Times and that still may happen today.
