Female gladiator grave found in Roman London site
Archaeologists in London report what may be the first grave of a woman gladiator buried in a Southwark cemetery. A young woman in her 20s, high status grave goods, and gladiator symbols on vessels suggest strong link to gladiatorial life. The find dates to a 1996 excavation with later analysis indicating a 70 percent probability she was a gladiator.
