Description: | Sherd of Roman Samian ware, probably dating to the 1st century and likely to be a Southern Gaulish product. The fragment depicts a frieze with a Gladiator standing fighting someone to his right. The opponant is missing. The body armour is vertically ribbed and in the gladiators' left hand is a sword or perhaps a spear or trident (the tip is missing). The scene shows the gladiator thrusting the sword or spear horizontally an an attacking motion. A very similar parallel to this decoration can be seen on a Dr Form 30 bowl in Oswald & Pryce, 1920 ??An Introduction to the study of Terra Sigullata??. This sherd appears to be quite curved in section and may be from a Dr Form 37 bowl. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
