A dagger and pair of greaves (shin guards) belonging to a gladiator discovered at Pompeii. The bronze greaves depict Jupiter and Neptune and the dagger is decorated with ivory. All to enhance the spectacle and theatrics of the Roman gladiatorial bloodsports.

Vesuvius erupted #OTD in 1906, devastating #Naples. Among the many non-book items @theUL are these fragments of wall paintings, thought to be from #Pompeii. They live in the Lewis Cabinet of MSS & curiosities, given to us in 1727. Learn more @CamDigLib https://t.co/hSxu2vkTgi
