Selge and the nearby Pamphylian city of Aspendos were famous for their closely related stater coinages (in a few cases probably cut by the same engravers), which usually show a pair of wrestlers on the obverse, presumably referring to local games, and a slinger on the reverse: the area from which these staters came was famous for its slingers, who served as mercenaries in most of the armies of the period.
