This simple black and white mosaic depicts Montanus ("the Mountain") holding a trident. He is said to have been a favorite of the Emperor Commodus (180-192 A.D.) Commodus on occasion appeared in gladiatorial combats in the Colisseum in the costume of Hercules, which antagonized his upper class enemies in the Senate. From Commodus' Villa dei Quntilli outside Rome, the image was discovered and reported in the media on April, 30th 2007. > next Gladiator |
