These are friezes representing gladiators and hunting scenes and tamers of the wild animals, found at Kibyra in Gölhisar, Burdur province. During rescue excavations in 2002 these were found in an area where a probable gladiatorial cemetery was found. These stood on both sides of a monumental street, leading to the stadion. The friezes probably faced the street. You may wish to check some more gravestones of gladiators or mosaics on my Italy site showing the capture and transport of wild animals.
