15.226. Relief panel illustrating munera

Description:
A white marble relief panel, with a simple moulding at the edge, which survives above, below, and to the right. On the face, in relief, two heavily armed and helmeted gladiators confront one another. The figure on the left has a long shield on his left arm, and is extending his right arm, with a short sword, threatening his opponent; the other has a casque over his face, and something hanging down to the ground from his left hand. His right arm is extended to grip the shoulder of his opponent.
