Dear Digger, you may be taking this too literally. This is clearly a reference to the female form and the underlying inscription DFDS puts one in mind of the Germanic legions ( DESCIMUS (F)ELICITUS DUCVM SER). The Bolivian connection is intriguing, a lost Roman Legion? so there we have it, a female Gladiator travelling with a lost Roman Legion; suitable for a channel four twelve part series.
