The original model of the gladiator relief
The gladiator relief found and exhibited in Rome is of such special value because it is one of the few preserved original representations of the animal rushes practiced at that time. Regardless of the fact that animal chases were practiced in the Roman Empire from the second century BC to the sixth century AD. Combined with other gladiator reliefs and depictions of other events in Roman history, you can decorate your surroundings in a particularly impressive way.
Good to know
The relief looks even more impressive when you consider the background. At its largest, the Circus Maximus had room for 385,000 people. An almost unimaginable number even for today's times. The Circus Maximus was not only a place of bloody gladiator fights, also many other sports were practiced in this arena. Get a piece of impressive sports history into your home with this gladiator relief.
