These are friezes (and some gravestones) representing gladiators and other scenes related to the games, like tamers of the wild animals, found at Kibyra in Gölhisar, Burdur (Turkey) province. During rescue excavations in 2002 these were found in an area where a probable gladiatorial cemetery was found. These stood on both sides of a monumental street, leading to the stadion. The friezes probably faced the street.
I do not have the knowledge to differentiate further.

During a visit in 2016 restorations were going on, in some cases they were prepared by storing parts that mightr later be used. This is a frieze that must have adorned buildings on the agora.

The fountain mentioned.
A wide columned street and shops on both sides of the street has been excavated. In a corner of the street with the main street an entrance with glamorous ornaments gave access to a sacred place. As the town diminished in size during the East Roman period (possibly 6-7th century) the agora terrace was turned into a rampart. The material used suggests on the northeast and southeast corner of the agora there were temples. On the highest parts over the upper terrace remains of a fountain (tholos) and a tomb were discovered.

An East Roman bath was located to the southeast side of the tessellated stoa in front of the Odeon. It’s architectural style goes back to East Roman Era, it was probably built in the 5th to 7th century. Materials from the Odeon were used as spolia. The outside was covered with lime mortar, the interior with slabs of marble. It had a frigidarium, tepidarium and caldarium. The pools of the first two are rather well preserved.

One of some views from high.
The Odeon was originally a place for the city council’s assembly, or Bouleuterion. Shortly after its construction in the second half of the 2nd century AD, a stage (skene) was added. Later it was used as both a theatre and court room. Façade and walls were covered with marble. A stoa with nine columns was added in front of the building. Coloured marble was used to decorate the stage front, and a large Medusa mosaic covered part of the floor. That mosaic is sometimes displayed, but during my visit it was not visible.

Ner the Oden there is a Roman Bath, on this picture one can see the piles of stones that would hold the floor, so warm gasses could heat it from below.

As described in the Wikipedia article the stadium has one theatre-like part with seats that form a half-circle, this is the other side. One can see the seats on the far side are in decent condition, those nearby are mostly gone.
