text:
The Cavillargues medallion is a Roman Imperial terracotta relief medallion of the 2nd or 3rd century, 16 centimetres (6.3 in) across, found at Cavillargues in southern France. It depicts a gladiatorial combat between a retiarius and a secutor. The medallion has been studied by American historian Anthony Corbeill and he believes it shows a games official signalling pollicēs premere, the granting of mercy to fighters whose combat ends in a draw.
