Cadere 3D Kantaros

Obverse, gladiaskator in full fall.
Reverse, child sitting on a skateboard.

This antique drinking vase, with two large vertical handles, depicts two figures skateboarding. The first appears to be a child hurtling down a slope, seated on his skateboard, while the second has just performed the famous scorpion. A violent fall, the body bends so much that its feet touch the skateboarder’s head.
Archaeologists believe it may have been used to taunt opponents in gladiatorial races.
