Roman Gladiator types IIII


Another major Gladiator was the Thrace. The Thracian was equipped with a broad rimmed helmet that enclosed the entire head. A small square or round shield, and two thigh length greaves. His weapon was the Thracian curved  sword, or the sica. Those were the many different types of Roman Gladiators. The Romans got the idea for these gladiators because of there encounters with many different people all over the Mediterranean, and all over the world.
