or VAULTING, was an exercise much used both amongst the Greeks and Romans. The Grecians called it Ανάστασις, and performed it with weights upon their heads and shoulders. Sometimes they carried the weights in their hands, which were of different figures, but generally oval and made with holes or covered with thongs, through which the contenders put their fingers. These weights were called ἀνάστασις. The contest was who could leap the highest and farthest. The place from whence they jumped was called βασίλειον, and that to which they leaped, σκηνή, because the ground was there dug up. This exercise was performed in the same manner by the Romans.
