The wheels were shown to be apparently studded with Blingite, an adornment popular to imported guest workers from Africa.

I bet the Thracians would have loved to watch Mad Max, Thunderdome, Road warrior....

I guess the Thracian/OZ approach is used in Iraq as well, like this one:

The chariot concept seems to be still with us.

In Thracian times, a four weeled chariot would carry spear throwers and/or archers.Today we have MGs mounted, and big bumpers , HD suspensions: i.e. chariots.

Scott, you will have to check with Allegra on this, but I think some still have blingite on the wheels after all these years.
