Roman Gladiator vs. Lion—In York?!

Just when you thought Roman Britain was all togas and tea, archaeologists found a skeleton in York with bite marks from a legit lion (or maybe a tiger or leopard). This poor guy, likely a gladiator, got mauled in the arena—1,800 years ago! It’s the first actual proof of human-animal combat in Roman Europe, not just something from old mosaics. Wild to think lions were shipped from Africa just for these brutal shows. History is way more savage than we thought! #Archaeology #RomanBritain #Gladiators #History #York #AncientMysteries #Science
