The rider is wearing the chlamys which is clearly shown on the cited specimens of variants a and b. It is also partially evident on coins of the variant c, whose obverse die represents a later state of the obverse die of the variant b to which the ethnic KEΛEN was added. 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.

The rider’s flying chlamys is similarly depicted in a scene on an amphora originating probably from Kamiros in Rhodes, c. 525 BC–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 riders wear the chlamys only (others wear the chiton only or both garments together, some also a cuirass).
