I think your claim is reasonable but how do you know? Merely lack of reference to scythe-on-wheel-hubs in contemporary contemporaneous ancient sources? On the one hand, it seems to gimmicky to be useful in battle (as opposed to battle racing, or whatever you call that scene in the Ben-Hur movie). On the other hand, it seems like a logical thing to try... (p.s. cool statue!)

Ben-Hur's Arab friend thought that Romans were weird. He thought that a man should have fifty wives and One God. A Roman had one wife at any given time and fifty gods.
