| Abstract |
Red-figure kylix depicting athletes exercising under the supervision of their trainers. The exterior depicts four trainers (one bearded); three of which are standing directing the athletes with staff and one sits with his hand resting upon a staff. Eight of the figures are male nude athletes. Three are practicing throwing a discus, two practice throwing javelins, one practices jumping holding halteres (jumping weights), and two stand off to the side with no equipment observing the other athletes. The interior also depicts a single nude male athlete practicing throwing a discus. Halteres, a pick, and an unidentified piece of equipment are depicted in the background. |
