Glass Vase from Egypt with Gladiatorial Scenes
#9
Hi John,

very well observed. Thank You for these interpretations. And I want to direct Your interest on the role of the summa rudis. In the lower example it seems to be so, that the retiarius' action was not within the rules and that the summa rudis is holding him back from further action with his stick. Or is he only pointing at the winner? What do You think?

On the upper duell the referee also points at the retiarius - but I am afraid we will never know about the meaning.
