Roman Gladiator Shin Guards, 1st Century AD

From the Gladiator’s Barracks in Pompeii. These elaborately decorated shin guards depict a celebration procession of Bacchus. They show images of Bacchus’ tutor Silenus, masks of the god and the lion skin of Hercules. The lower portion depicts a stork fighting a snake to protect her children.
