 In terms of form for throwing discuses, there was no set form or technique in antiquity that has been recorded.Publius Asklepiades, a man originating from the polis of Corinth, won the pentathlon in the year 241 AD, and because of his victory, he dedicated a discus to the god Zeus as thanks.Most likely, as with other votive dedications, this artifact was not used for the sport but rather just as a votive dedication.
