Quote:Possibly gladiators too (retired ones!) ...Indeed there are. My favourite is Dessau (ILS) 5115, the gravestone of Urbicus the secutor, qui pugnavit XIII vixsit annis XXII ("who fought 13 times and lived 22 years"), because it ends with this advice: moneo ut quis quem vicerit occidat ("I advise that you should kill whomever you have conquered"). Must've been a sore point in the Urbicus household! :o
