A famous mosaic of gladiators, dated to the first half of the 4th century. It was discovered in 1834 on the Borghese estate at Torrenova, on the Via Casilina outside Rome. The excavation was directed by Luigi Canina. The name of each gladiator depicted is given in inscription next to the figure, with a Ø symbol (possibly the Greek letter Θ, for θάνατος "dead") marking the names of gladiators who died in combat. The inscription is listed in the CIL corpus as CIL VI 10206. A total of 33 names were on the mosaic, some of them now illegible. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
