chariotry

Ancient battle vehicles

Chariotry is chariots collectively, especially as a military force.

The term appears mainly in historical and biblical contexts, describing the chariot divisions of ancient armies: The Egyptian chariotry pursued the Israelites to the sea.

Like cavalry or infantry, it names a branch of armed forces rather than individual vehicles.
