Wow! No one’s said a word about the fact that the chick only has one leg!

Legless statue of topless gladiator?

[crazydad]

This is Lorenus Bobadus of Rome.

I went into this Bar, the sign said TOPLESS!!! BOTTOMLESS!!! I get inside, there was nobody there!

The emperor’s name must have been BILLUS CLINTONUS when there’s naked chicks around..

Where’s the Black Knight picture?

“’Tis but a scratch.”

[Larry Lucido]

"It's a mere flesh wound!"

[Revolting cat!]

Pamelus Andersonus.

What is that object in her hand?

[unkus]

She was a hottie in those days.

“Are you entertained?”

Yup... at my age doesn’t take much...

It looks like a strigil.
The Romans didn’t know about soap and water. After a strenuous workout in the arena they would slather themselves with oil, then scrape off the dirt, sweat and oil with a curved strigil.
She’s getting ready to squeegee herself.

She only had one leg and one hand so it must have been the Handicapped Gladiatorial Games.

Pamelus Andersonus.

Yeah, but the statue would keep falling over...

[tumblindice]

PS Most likely she was one of the scantily clad gals that paraded around the arena holding up cards showing the rounds in numerals (Roman, of course).

[tumblindice]

PPS parading around=hopping around

[TChad]

Perhaps a harvesting knife:

That’s not a female gladiator, that’s Lorena the First, Queen of the Bobbits

‘man boobs’ sagging too much...
