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

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

Bury me with my 16 horses.

Oh, okay, on message 8... and when I clicked in there, the images were in cache, and popped up in the thread. :’)

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

eights look five fives, I need new eyes.

How can they be Roman? These horses are dead.
