No. They had been around for a couple of thousand years in the Middle East before Rome became more than a village.

Although the Latins are recorded early on as using chariots (see Aeneid), the Romans adopted mainly infantry tactics, and quickly learned to neutralise chariots, so they quickly disappeared from the Italian battlefield. The Hellenistic kingdoms in the east persiated with chariots for an extra century or so but learnt that they were a liability against the Roman countermeasures.

No they did not. They were invented by the Sumerians, before the Greek days.
