Gladiator sarcophagus found in ancient Ephesus – The History Blog
http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/71163

Archaeologists excavating the site of ancient Ephesus in modern-day Selçuk, western Turkey, have unearthed a 3rd century A.D. sarcophagus that originally belonged to a gladiator. His remains were not found, because in the 5th century the sarcophagus was reused to bury 12 bodies.
