Sulla and Chaeronea

[Theodosius the Great]

It seems that Sulla tried to have trenches built on his flanks as defense against the Pontic cavalry, not the chariotry. The latter proved to be a big joke. Maybe the crews were ill-trained but I don't think the Romans ever had the slightest trouble countering chariots.

Here's the direct link to Plutarch's passage about the battle from his life of Sulla.
