Bites on Roman Gladiator Bones Prove Combat With a Lion

Bite marks found on the skeleton of a Roman gladiator are the first archaeological evidence of combat between a human and a lion, experts say.

The remains were discovered during a 2004 dig at Driffield Terrace, in York, a site now thought to be the world's only well-preserved Roman gladiator cemetery.

Forensic examination of the skeleton of one young man has revealed that holes and bite marks on his pelvis were most likely caused by a lion.

Prof Tim Thompson, the forensic expert who led the study, said this was the first "physical evidence" of gladiators fighting big cats.

"For years our understanding of Roman gladiatorial combat and animal spectacles has relied heavily on historical texts and artistic depictions," he said.

"This discovery provides the first direct, physical evidence that such events took place in this period, reshaping our perception of Roman entertainment culture in the region."

Experts used new forensic techniques to analyse the wounds, including 3D scans which showed the animal had grabbed the man by the pelvis.

Prof Thompson, from Maynooth University, in Ireland, said: "We could tell that the bites happened at around the time of death.

"So this wasn't an animal scavenging after the individual died - it was associated with his death."

As well as scanning the wound, scientists compared its size and shape to sample bites from large cats at London Zoo.

"The bite marks in this particular individual match those of a lion," Prof Thompson told BBC News.

The location of the bites gave researchers even more information about the circumstances of the gladiator's death.

The pelvis, Prof Thompson explained, "is not where lions normally attack, so we think this gladiator was fighting in some sort of spectacle and was incapacitated, and that the lion bit him and dragged him away by his hip."

The skeleton, a male aged between 26 and 35, had been buried in a grave with two others and overlaid with horse bones.

Previous analysis of the bones pointed to him being a Bestiarius - a gladiator that was sent into combat with beasts.

Malin Holst, a Senior Lecturer in Osteoarchaeology at the University of York, said in 30 years of analysing skeletons she had "never seen anything like these bite marks".

Additionally, she said the man's remains revealed the story of a "short and somewhat brutal life".

His bones were shaped by large, powerful muscles and there was evidence of injuries to his shoulder and spine, which were associated with hard physical work and combat.

Ms Holst, who is also managing director of York Osteoarchaeology, added: "This is a hugely exciting find because we can now start to build a better image of what these gladiators were like in life."

The findings, which have been published in the Journal of Science and Medical Research PLoS One, also confirmed the "presence of large cats and potentially other exotic animals in arenas in cities such as York, and how they too had to defend themselves from the threat of death", she said.

Experts said the discovery added weight to the suggestion an amphitheatre, although not yet found, likely existed in Roman York and would have staged fighting gladiators as a form of entertainment.

The presence of distinguished Roman leaders in York would have meant they required a lavish lifestyle, experts said, so it was no surprise to see evidence of gladiatorial events, which served as a display of wealth.

David Jennings, CEO of York Archaeology, said: "We may never know what brought this man to the arena where we believe he may have been fighting for the entertainment of others, but it is remarkable that the first osteoarchaeological evidence for this kind of gladiatorial combat has been found so far from the Colosseum of Rome, which would have been the classical world's Wembley Stadium of combat."

New fanfics that I've discovered in our recent new Emperors fandom (only Geta for now) on Wattpad.

The good news is that they're stories with a good plot and are apparently well-written. The bad news is that they're in Spanish, but nothing a translator can't solve.

If you're as obsessed as I am with gladiator ii and our emperor, feel free to read and say thank you to these authors.

Not me thinking about Neros name.

It is an interesting name though, so I'll do it anyway.

There are a few famous people who were called Nero, most prominently Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, most well know for being a tyrannical leader and setting Rome on fire for a building project. With the name Nero meaning strong or vigorous and later being adapted to mean black in Italian and other European languages in some variations. We all know that, an impressive and historically charged name of a grand and slightly insane roman emperor (like Gaius, there were so many emperors who had Gaius in their name) as the perfect base for Nero tol Scaeva.

His last name, Scaeva, being derived from one of Julius Caesar's most prominent Centurion Marcus Cassius Scaeva who famously wore red. Easy, we got that down as well. Makes sense since red is his color and Gaius Baelsar was named after Julius Caesar.

But what made me wonder was his last name. We know what Nero means, depending on the angle, i.e the language, it either denotes physical stenght or the color black. But what does Scaeva mean, specifically? Even if both names were picked from ancient roman history to fit with the empires theme and somewhat arranged around Gaius correlation to Caesar, let's just wonder for a moment what Scaeva actually means. Just for the fun of it.

If you Google "what does Scaeva mean?" all you'll get are some lovely articles regarding hoverflies since their scientific name of a genus of them is Scaeva, which has nothing to do with Nero, either ours nor the roman emperor. Unfortunately a dead end.

Doing a little deep dive back into my dusty Latin Vocabulary since all roads lead back to Rome, Scaeva is indeed listed there. Well, kind of.

Scaeva was a word used to describe a certain type of gladiator in ancient Rome, just like Bestiarius or Gladiatrix. It specifically was used to refer to gladiators of any type that were left-handed.

It furthermore is also an adjective. Scaevus is the masculine baseform to look at, meaning "left" or "on the left side" but can also translate to mean "clumsy" or "unlucky" or, my personal favorite, "powerfully influenced by luck [Fortuna], for good or bad,". Scaevus is the masculine form, as said, so how is it conjugated to Scaeva? Easy, the singular nominative feminine of Scaevus becomes Scavea. Meaning that Neros lastname is the feminine version of the word, something European languages like German or Spanish and French like to do, with usually a feminine and masculine form of the word.

Now, why did I ramble about this?

Because I got tired at 1am, wondered what his lastname meant, fell down a rabbit hole or two and came back out with refreshed Latin and some headcanons regarding our dearest engineer.

Nero is left-handed but became ambidextrous during the academy for sake of outshining Cid

Nero was an accident and doesn't know his father

His lastname is his mother's

There were probably other things I found on my way I could delve into as well and maybe I will but I'll leave you guys this for now.

Unicorn

The unicorn is one of the most famous of all the chimerical monsters of antiquity. The Scriptures make repeated mention of such a creature, but of its shape we can form little conception. In Early Christian Art the unicorn symbolised the highest and purest virtue; not only was it one of the noblest bearings in the heraldry of the Middle Ages, but wasviewed as the immediate emblem of our Blessed Lord. Philippe de Thaun says in his "Bestiarius":

"Monocéros est beste  Une corne a en la tête  Cette beste en verité nous signifie Dieu." Whence comes the unicorn? It is older than the days of Job. Among the hieroglyphics of Ancient Egypt this wonderful creature is depicted.

The unicorn was a famous device all over Europe and symbolised Crest: A Unicorn's head, couped. the virtue of the mind and the strength of the body
