A knife to cut themselves free if they fell off
Charioteers were the men who drove the racing chariots, or any chariot for that matter. In the case of ancient Rome, the charioteers could be likened to today's race car drivers.
The Roman Charioteer live in Rome; with their family and friends. There was no block of housing set aside for charioteers. However, if a driver were a slave, (very rare, most charioteers were free men) then his owner would provide housing, more than likely near the stables. A free driver could live wherever he wanted as the winning drivers could be quite wealthy.

Roma Charioteers were slaves so they wore basically the same as a household slave would, basically a tunic but it was coloured to determinate who the different racers were who owned the slaves. White, red, green, blue and black wer the most used colours.
The highest paid athlete of all time was a Roman chariot driver named Gaius Appuleius Diocles. He raced for 24 years and won 35,863,120 in prize money. This is recorded on an inscription erected in Rome by his fellow charioteers and fans upon his retirement. It was said his total winnings were enough to provide the entire city of Rome with grain for a whole year. In today's money his winnings would be about $15 billion.
The Roman charioteers did not carry weapons; they were racing drivers. The only weapon-like object they carried was a knife for cutting themselves free from the reigns to prevent being dragged by the horses if they had a spill. The Roman army did not use fighting chariots. Their mobile forces were on horseback--- the cavalry.The Roman charioteers did not carry weapons; they were racing drivers.
