Hello all, starting this thread to draw attention to a blogpost by Sean Manning of Book and Sword blog who is writing a dissertation which touches on scythed chariots and is wondering if there are any period representations on coins, reliefs etc. of the same that he might have missed.

His post can be found here: https://bookandsword.com/2016/12/10/scythed-chariots/#more-3595

I don't know enough myself to be of any assistance, but if there is any material he has missed, I'd wager that members of this forum would be able to point him in the right direction.

Cheers,
Aaron

I think he's right: I've never come across any such representation.

when I was researching the article for Slingshot about scythed chariots I never found any picture sources

How about those that are found the 'De Rebus Bellicis'?
