a single horsed was attached by two poles. Pairs of horses were attached to a central pole. Four horses were attached in pairs to two poles .
First of all remember that the Romans did not use chariots for transportation or warfare as they were too impractical for those purposes. The Romans used chariots for racing and for ceremonial purposes. The racing chariot was built with two spoked wheels and an axle and hitches for the horses. The body of the cart was of lightweight wood, heated and bent to form the frontal curve of the cart. The floor of the cart was again, of either strips of light weight wood or even strips of leather. The ceremonial chariots were larger, bulkier vehicles, lavishly decorated.First of all remember that the Romans did not use chariots for transportation or warfare as they were too impractical for those purposes.

By the historical period, the Romans did not use chariots as fighting vehicles, relying on infantry and cavalry. The chariot remained as a ceremonial vehicle and for racing in the circus, and is depicted on monuments (usually a biga or quadriga - two or four horses) The chariot was pulled by horses, however there is a record of Pompey the Great using elephants in a triumphal procession after his conquest of the East.
The Romans used chariots for racing and a triumphing general would stand in a rather large chariot in his triumph parade. Perhaps a wealthy person would have a chariot for fun or personal recreation, but other than that, the Romans made very little use of them. They did not use them in war as other civilizations did, and they were impractical for transportation purposes.
Romans used wood, wicker, and metal for chariots due to their specific properties that enhanced performance and durability. Wood provided a lightweight yet strong framework, while wicker added flexibility and reduced weight, improving speed and maneuverability. Metal components, such as iron, were used for reinforcement and to create durable fittings, ensuring the chariots could withstand the rigors of racing and combat. This combination of materials allowed for efficient construction while optimizing the chariot's functionality.
Chariots did not exist in medieval times. They were a feature of certain cultures in ancient times, but were not used anywhere in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. The ancient Romans had used chariots only for racing and in occasional triumphal processions in Rome; the archaic Greeks had used chariots in warfare, but they became replaced by horsed cavalry in classical times; the ancient Persians continued to use chariots in battle for many hundreds of years. The ancient Egyptians learned the art of building and using chariots from the Hyksos who invaded Egypt; chariots were also used by the Sumerians, Babylonians, Hittites and Assyrians. In Britain, the Romans were surprised to find the native ancient Britons using light war chariots when they arrived (twice) to conquer the islands, since Celts in other parts of Europe had long since changed over to horse cavalry. By medieval times, battles were fought between armies composed entirely of men on foot (infantry) and mounted armoured knights and serjants (cavalry) - absolutely no chariots.
Yes, the Romans made chariots. However, they did not use them for battles.
Chariots and wagons!
The Roman cavalry rode into battle on horses. The rest of the army went into battle on foot with the general and tribunes mounted. In a naval encounter the Romans rode into battle on their ships. And no, the Romans did not use chariots for war.
Only with chariots.
I'm pretty sure they use donkeys. This is correct, both Greek and Romans used donkeys as well as horses/chariots

The Romans used chariots for chariot races, which was the most popular form of entertainment, together with the gladiatorial games. These races took place throughout the history of Roman civilisation and outlasted the gladiatorial games. The Romans did not use chariots for warfare.

they modified war chariots into moving weapons like placing blades into rotating wheels and dressing up horses like warriors too
Roman chariots were primarily made for use in warfare and racing. They were designed to be lightweight yet durable, with a low center of gravity for stability at high speeds. The construction of the chariots also allowed for quick maneuverability and ease of control by the charioteer.
