OK, since I finished "Spartacus: House of Ashur" and were reminded of "Those About to Die" (great show, watch it) and seeing as I'm always being about "Rome," let's do a very quick thread about real gladiators, based on what I remember learning about them like 15 years. 馃У

Part of the Zliten mosaic from Libya (Leptis Magna), about 2nd century AD. It shows (left to right) a thraex fighting a murmillo, a hoplomachus standing with another murmillo (who is signaling his defeat to the referee), and one of a matched pair.
