Ancient Celt War Chariot

Ancient Celt war chariots were made of wicker, the wooden wheels being armed with sickles of bronze. They were drawn by two or four horses, and were large enough to hold several warriors. Standing in these, they rushed along the enemy's lines, hurling darts, and driving the scythes against all who came within reach. The Romans were much impressed by the skill of the drivers, who could check their horses at full speed on a steep incline, and turn them in an instant, and could run along the pole, and stand on the yoke, and then get back into their chariots again without a moment's delay.
