Description:
A white marble panel-stele (H. 0.88 x W. 0.64 x D. 0.21). The relief is of a nude facing gladiator, who still wears arm-protectors on his right upper arm, and shin-guards. He holds a palm with his right arm, which is partly lost; his left arm is stretched out horizontally, and the hand rests on a helmet placed on what is either a smooth column or a tall shield. Below are two small figures: that on the man's right has shin-guards and a long shield, and looks up at him; that on his left is winged and naked, and holds his right arm down, and left arm raised, while regarding the central figure.
