Grave of possibly female gladiator found in London
Archaeologists in London report the first likely gladiator grave of a young woman in her 20s at a Roman cemetery on the Thames south bank. The rich burial includes gladiator symbols, imported pine cones, dates and figs, and three Anubis-decorated lamps. Evidence suggests she was a gladiator or closely connected to them with 70 percent certainty.
