ProfessorYes, women were allowed to attend chariot races in ancient Rome. However, it is believed that they generally sat apart from men in designated areas, such as the upper level of the stadium. Women of higher social status could enjoy the races from private boxes.

Where in rome were chariot races held?

Were the Hyskos the first to use the chariot?
The chariot was developed from 1700BCE to 500BCE. The oldest chariots have been found in the Ural Mountains. The parts of development of the chariot was the horse, the wheel, and the use of the bow. It is not clear why humans invented the chariot before riding the horse. The bow was invented around the second millennium BCE. The first reference to charioteers in the civilized world is from Syria around 1800BCE. The Hittites established their first kingdom with the help of chariots in 1700BCE, the Hurrians used it to penetrate the Middle East, and the Hyskos in 1650BCE. So, as you can see they did not invent the chariot, but were somewhat late to the party.
