CILICIA: Kelenderis: Anonymous, circa 450-400 BC, AR stater (10.84g), nude ephebe left, holding whip and dismounting from horse at the gallop in a calpe or anabates race // goat crouching left, head to right, VF-EF. The anabates or calpe ('dismounter') race was a late introduction to the Olympics, in which the rider dismounted for the last stretch and ran beside the horse. Its origin was probably a military exercise since speed and agility were essential for a horseman in battle, and it is still included in modern gymkhanas. From an old Collection, purchased by the collector in 1967 with his tag.
