Roman Gladiator Cemetery found in England............

[Kelley (Texas)]

This is fascinating, approximately 2,000 years old. Some of the bodys had teeth marks which indicated they were killed by lions or bears in an arena. Kelley (Texas)

Some of the bones had teeth marks, like they had fought tigers, lions, or bears in a pit. Another thing that I found interesting was that one arm was longer than the other arm because of years of training with a heavy weapon. Kelley (Texas)

When we were in Spain, we went to 3 of the old Roman Ruins and went into one of the places where they fought while folks sat around and watched. Just walking in there me, my son George and buddy Gary, all said at same time, Imagine what it must of been like to be put out there with people or animals set on killing you.... I have the pictures them upstairs, I will scan them and get them up here.....
