The Panathenea was Athens\' primary annual festival, incorporating religious festivals, ceremonies, athletic competitions and cultural events, held in the Panathenaic stadium. Chariot races were an important event, including the apobatai, a chariot race in which the driver had to jump out of the chariot, run alongside, and jump back in. The festival\'s main procession started near the main city gate, from which the cavalrymen would charge along the Dromos road past the Acropolis to the Parthenon. These events were immortalized in the Parthenon Frieze which was placed upon the Parthenon\'s naos in c.440 BC, and from which these bas-relief were derived. Modeller and Date Unknown.
