The Armenians were the great innovators of a military system made up of an elite chariot corps drawn only from the aristocracy of the nation.  Another innovation was their tactic of using chariots to surround the enemy and then using the chariot as a protected firing platform delivered a constant fire of arrows and javelins.  Once they had broken up the enemy formation they used the chariot as an impact weapon trampling the opposing soldiers.  The fearsome Armenian maryannu cavalry became renowned and  highly sought as mercenary troops throughout all of the Near East.
