SPOLIARIUM

According to some art experts, the fallen gladiators who are being dragged in the painting are the
Filipino people, while the men dragging them are representative of the Spanish rule. It is
believed that the woman crouched on the right side of the painting is the Mother Country or the
Inang Bayan who weeps for her Philippines. The blood thirsty crowd to the left represents the
social cancer on that time. Truly, there is more than meets the eye when it comes to the painting
Spoliarium.

Propaganda movement, Katipunan, Philippine Revolution and Philippine America War.

seated.
