When the Assyrian Empire was at its height, in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE, the chariot was gradually being replaced by the horsed warrior, who was much more manoeuvrable and could go places that the chariot could not. Thus the cavalry achieved a predominance on the battlefield which it was not to lose until the later years of the 19th century, and the cavalry of Assyria was a very important component of her armies.
