An exhibition developed by the Contemporanea Progetti and Expona and presented by the Canadian War Museum.
The image of the gladiator as a hero looms large in popular culture. But who were these professional fighters? What kind of existence did they lead in the shadow of the Colosseum, the Roman Empire’s greatest fighting arena? This summer, take advantage of a unique opportunity to see one-of-a kind artifacts and discover the real story behind this legacy of the Roman Empire.
