The face of the stone is decorated with an upright trident, presumably of a retiarius, between two curious shapes, probably representing the flanged guard of leather or metal (galerus) worn by retiarii on their left shoulder. There are palm branches at either end of the front face. Very badly weathered with much of the decorated face having flaked off.
Stone incised with gladiatorial symbols. The trident of the net-fighter (retiarius) is flanked by gabled shapes representing the shoulder-piece worn by them; palm fronds of victory close the design.
From the Amphitheatre at Caerleon.
Site Name: Caerleon Amphitheatre, Caerleon
Notes: found where it had been built, possibly reused, into one of the buttresses between entrances A and B
