Best Answer

Horse breeds that were used by Romans were largely named by their type and not their breed. Chargers or Coursers for battle, Palfrey's for riding, and then there were cart and pack horses. There were references to other types and possibly breeds, but it is unknown whether they were referring to a single breed or a collective group of breeds.

However it is known that Tukomans were in high demand and the modern form of the breed is the Akhal -Teke.

Horses in the Middle Ages were rarely differentiated by breed, but rather by use. This led them to be described, for example, as "chargers" (war horses), "palfreys" (riding horses), cart horses or packhorses.

Why did the romans use horses?

The Romans use horses for riding and racing. They also used them for the cavalry in battles and for messengers. They used them for racing because they were fast moving animals; the same reasoning applied to the military. Remember that the Romans did not use horses for pack animals or for harness work. Ox carts moved heavy equipment and goods, and mules were used as pack animals.

What breed of horse was used to pull chariots in the years of the Roman empire?

As far as I know the Romans did not use a specific breed of horse for their racing. The race team owners bought their horses from specific breeders, who bred the animals for speed and endurance. Matched teams were also in demand. I don't think that they even had named breeds of horses such as our Thoroughbreds, Tennessee Walkers, or Appaloosas.
