V.2.e Pompeii. May 2005. Steps to upper floor.
On January 24th 1884 there were found three great circular bronze amphitheatre trumpets (tubae), the circumference 4.12 m., and a diameter of 1.20 m. approximately. At 0.63 m. from the bell there was soldered a cylinder, which corresponded to another 0.70m. from the mouthpiece.
These were used to hold the ends of the wooden cross, which rested on the shoulder, as seen in the figure of the gladiator who plays a similar trumpet, in one of the paintings now destroyed the podium of the amphitheatre. 
Near the mouth was a large bronze wire, in two trumpets bronze and in one iron, which was fixed to the wooden cross piece. They were broken in some parts when discovered, but with easy restoration would be put back in pristine condition.
