Research into a vase in Colchester reportedly provides the 'only evidence' of such fights staged in Britain.
BBC NewsTests have proven that the Colchester Vase - an ancient artefact which depicts a fight between combatants - was locally made and decorated.
It depicts scenes which may have been witnessed in a Roman arena - namely animal hunts and a duel between a pair of gladiators. Analysis of the human remains inside the pot suggested the deceased person was aged over 40, and may have come from overseas.
