Chess Set Description
The first gladiators were part of a sacrificial rite adopted from the Etruscans. First introduced to Rome
in 264 BC, the sons of Junius Brutus honored their father at his funeral by matching three pairs of
gladiators. Gladitorial combat was originally part of a religious ceremony that was intended to insure
that the dead would be accompanied to the "next world" by armed attendants and that the spirits of the
dead would be appeased with this offering.
