The rider is wearing the chlamys with two “wings” which is clearly shown especially on the cited specimens of variants a and b. The chlamys flying behind the rider’s back emphasizes the dynamics of the scene and its depiction is unique to this issues, no other coins of Kelenderis depict a rider with this coat. Let us also note an interesting detail in the variant a: the chlamys partially covers the rider’s whip, which points to the rear of the horse due to the position of the rider’s left hand when dismounting.

The variants b–c differ from the variant a in the way the rider’s chlamys is depicted. These coins show the clasp of the chlamys on the rider’s chest near his right shoulder, the chlamys is draped over his shoulders and flutters backwards away from the viewer so it does not overlap the object in his left hand. This object does not have to be a whip. Due to the absence of a strap and due to its width and slightly curved shape, it may be a cutlass (makhaira), similar to the one on the coins of Type 1 from a Pseudo-Kelenderis mint.

Chlamys with the two “wings” is also depicted on some Thessalian coins from the 5th century BC (see Mack 2024, Forthcoming), and in the equestrian scene on an amphora originating probably from Kamiros in Rhodes, c. 525 –500 BC (The British Museum, 1867,0506.44), but the rider on the amphora is also wearing a short chiton. Note that on the Parthenon friezes some horsemen also have only chlamys and are otherwise naked (others wear a chiton only or both garments together, some also a cuirass), but the cloaks on these friezes are not divided into two “wings”.
