This 1,800-year-old tombstone depicts a gladiator holding two swords standing above his defeated opponent who is signalling submission. The inscription below says Diodoros, a gladiator, was buried here. CREDIT: © Royal Museums of Art and History, Brussels.

Demetrius must have been a democrat.

It appears that the gladiator on the ground might well have a broken right arm. There looks to be a bone protruding from his forearm just below the wrist area.
Anecdotal comment: a well-made brand of athletic shoe here on Taiwan is named...Diodora.
