Sept. 12 - A young woman who was cremated and buried with costly goods
centuries ago in Roman London may be the first discovery of a female
gladiator, archaeologists said today.

The woman, estimated to be in her 20s, was identified by a
fragment of a pelvis. She was buried with one dish decorated with the image
of a fallen gladiator, and other vessels with symbols associated with
gladiators, said Hedley Swain, head of the Early Department at the Museum of
London.
