The man’s remains, which date to between the years 200 and 300 , come from what may have been a gladiator cemetery in the Roman city of Eboracum , now called York .

Researchers do not know where animals battled gladiators or slayed designated victims.

The pattern and depth of pits and punctures on the man's pelvis most closely matched a lion's bite.

The wounds indicate that Roman authorities transported animals from North Africa to Britain for public events.
