The Romans used chariots for racing and a triumphing general would stand in a rather large chariot in his triumph parade. Perhaps a wealthy person would have a chariot for fun or personal recreation, but other than that, the Romans made very little use of them. They did not use them in war as other civilizations did, and they were impractical for transportation purposes.
