Historical background
Scythed chariots carried long blades on the wheel hubs and were meant to race into the enemy ranks. The Achaemenids used them at Cunaxa in 401 and Gaugamela in 331 BC, the Seleucids still at Magnesia in 190 BC. Disciplined troops let them pass through opened lanes or shot down the horses, so their effect was usually small.
