The Hamaxobii ( Ancient Greek: Ἁμαξόβιοι), Anglicized Hamaxobians or Amaxobians, were a nomadic tribe who lived in chariots with leather tents mounted on them. [1] They were Scythians. [2] They were said to be descendants of the Medes. [3]
They lived near the Palus Maeotis. [4] Claudius Ptolemy places them along the Vistula river. [5]
The word is compounded of Greek ἄμαξα ("chariot"), and βίος ("life").
