There is an especially rich collection of gladiatorial graffiti on sites in Pompeii and Herculaneum. [1] Depictions of gladiators are widespread throughout Pompeii, from public areas including the Forum and amphitheater, to the private areas of the upper and lower classes[2], indicating the pervasiveness of the sport in Pompeiian and the broader Roman culture. These etchings and graphics provide insights on details pertaining various gladiators, including their names, status as slaves or freeborn volunteers, and their win-loss records[3].
 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
