The grave unearthed in north-east Greece.

The chariot had a frieze relief in bronze, showing three of Hercules' labours

Probably Roman era goods, not Roman themselves. They did not use chariots except for racing and the odd triumph. IMHO

Guess the idea of “being buried in your favorite car” ain’t so new, after all....

That’s what it reminded me of, too. Well, it got them to the 21st century.

Archaeologists have dug up the skeletons of 16 horses and a two-wheeled chariot in a grave

Bury me with my 16 horses.

Great... now all I can think of is the old “Wheel Horse! Wheel Horse Power!” advertisement theme song.

How can they be Roman? These horses are dead.
