Times today- 12 Gladiator reliefs from 1st C BC recovered
#3
Let's wait for the oficial report. I hope those reliefs aren't fake and were buried for aging.

There are some things that make that relief suspicious:

1: The degree of the detail.
2: The frontality of some figures.
3: Some details shows the man who made it knows well other reliefs, but don't understand the function. The weapons, the helmets and the cornicem seems too close to military art. One gladiator haves the hand protected with the protections often used in pugilatum (boxing).

Another time, i hope there are real, and the things i have pointed could be explain.

I really hate the looters. Every day a little more.
