The Colchester Vase is an ancient Roman British vase made from local clay from Colchester, England, dating to 175AD, depicting a gladiator battle between two individuals: Memnon and Valentinus, which are believed to be stage names.[1]
It was discovered in a Roman-era grave in 1853, which held the deceased's cremated remains.[2]
It is currently held in the Colchester Castle Museum collection, and is renowned as one of the finest pieces of Roman-British pottery in existence.[1][2][3]
