280 MONUMENTS OF HIPPODROME AND MUSICAL VICTORS. 
MONUMENTS ILLUSTRATING THE HORSE-RACE. 
When we turn to the monuments which illustrate the horse-race, we 
find as varied a number—vase-paintings, reliefs, coins, statuary, etc.— 
as in the case of chariot victors. 
Vase-paintings show that the jockey was generally nude and rode 
without stirrups or saddle. We see nude long-haired jockeys on 
horseback with whips pictured on a sixth-century B. C. Panathenaic 
amphora in the British Museum.’ One also appears on a silver tetra-

drachm in the same museum, which commemorates the Olympic 
victory of Philip II of Macedonia.” Here the victorious mounted 
jockey has a palm in his hand, the symbol of his victory. On the other 
hand, the jockey is sometimes represented as wearing a close-fitting 
short-sleeved chiton. We see such a one on an archaic b.-f. Pan- 
athenaic vase of the sixth century B.C. in the British Museum (Fig.67).3 
In front of the mounted youth on this vase stands a herald in official 
robes, from whose mouth issue the words “‘the horse of Dyneiketos is 
victorious.” Behind the jockey is an attendant bearing a wreath 
in his left hand and holding a prize tripod over his head. The short 
chiton also appears on a horse-racer on the Amphiaraos vase.t We see 
racing boys on a proto-Corinthian lekythos in the museum at Taranto,
