Abstract: In the Roman villa in Noheda there are many structures that have been excavated, but the most distinguished is the so-called Sala Triabsidada, with its impressive dimensions (290.64 m²) and its complex archeological articulation, to which one can add its carefully crafted decoration, composed of extraordinary figurative mosaics, a skirting board made out of imported marble, attractive painted murals, and exceptional sculptures throughout the room. The Roman mosaic contains a multitude of figures – some life-size – in scenic groups, distributed in six independent, but interrelated, rectangular bands. Its originality is exemplified through the combination of themes, with mythical allegories, allusions to literary and theatrical genres, and representations of diverse ludi. It is exactly in these pieces where we can see the images of boxers and athletes, at various times of the competition, which are addressed in this article.
En la villa romana de Noheda son varias las estructuras exhumadas, pero destaca la denominada Sala Triabsidada, de imponentes dimensiones - 290,64 m2- y una compleja articulación arquitectónica, a las que se suma una cuidada ornamentación, compuesta por extraordinarios mosaicos figurativos, un zócalo de mármoles importados, vistosas pinturas murales y un excepcional aparato escultórico distribuido por la estancia. El mosaico romano tiene multitud de figuras –algunas superiores a la escala real- agrupadas en grupos escénicos, distribuidas en seis bandas figurativas independientes pero interrelacionadas entre sí. Su originalidad reside en la combinación de alegorías mitológicas, alusiones a los géneros literarios y teatrales, y la representación de diversos ludi. Es precisamente en éstos últimos donde desatacan las imágenes de púgiles y atletas, en diversos momentos de la competición, que son abordados en el presente artículo.
