HARMAMAX'A (ἁρμάμαξα). A four-wheeled carriage, or caravan, of Eastern origin, usually drawn by four horses, having a cover overhead, and curtains to enclose it at the sides; and especially used for the conveyance of women and children (Curt. iii. 3. Herod. vii. 41. Diod. Sic. xi. 56.), but of which no authentic representation remains.
