But it could've been a person condemned ad bestias (death by wild beasts). I already wrote a blog about this in Dutch:
mainzerbeobachter.com/2024/01/09/h...
It makes me furious to see that @yorkarchaeology.bsky.social is still claiming this to be a gladiator (=person who fought another person thus not animal in a duell for entertainment). It could've been a venator (=person fighting animals for entertainment).

Op de Limburgse Archeologie Dag 2025 in het Limburgs Museum is een #beker met inscriptie #FLAC gekozen als Limburgse #Topvondst. #Archeologen groeven de beker in 2024 op in een Romeins graf op het Raadhuisplein in #Heerlen.

Bij de abdij van #Rolduc in Zuid-Limburg hebben archeologen nu ook steenbrokken gevonden van mogelijk de #Romeinse #villa waar ze naar speurden. Vanwege een beperkt budget konden de #archeologen niet verder graven en zijn de stenen weer afgedekt.
