The Parthenon Frieze. Block N XXVII

An apobates (71) is shown at the left of block XXVII leaping onto the moving chariot. He wears a helmet, cuirass over a short chiton, which forms a low overfold, and he carries his shield in his left hand. Preserved in fragments on a lower plane is the chariot-board and the body of the charioteer (70).
