Summary
Cockfight, Roman mosaic. Two cocks confront each other in combat before a table displaying the winner's prizes: the purse (a moneybag) flanked by a caduceus and a palm of victory
Français : Combat de coqs, mosaïque romaine. Sur la table, les prix du vainqueur: un caducée, une bourse de monnaie, la palme de la victoire.
Italiano: Combattimenti di galli, mosaico romano. Due galli si affrontano in combattimento; sullo sfondo, su di un tavolo, i premi per il vincitore: la palma della vittoria ed un sacco di monete.
The first documented use of the word gamecock, denoting use of the cock as to a "game", a sport, pastime or entertainment, was recorded in 1634, after the term "cock of the game" used by George Wilson, in the earliest known book on the sport of cockfighting in The Commendation of Cocks and Cock Fighting in 1607. But it was during Magellan's voyage of discovery of the Philippines in 1521 when modern cockfighting was first witnessed and documented for Westerners by the Italian Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan's chronicler, in the Kingdom of Taytay.
