Secutor

Secutor or "pursuer" is a heavy-armed fighter, who was firstly mentioned in the sources about 50 century A.D. His protective armour included the closed helmet without a peak and brims, the vambrace made of a soft print fabric on the right arm and the shortcut greave on the left leg. The large shield and other arming helped a secutor not to be afraid of attacks but at the same time they confined the fighter with its heaviness and hindered his movements. To strike his opponent with a gladius, a secutor had to come to grips with him. Tell your friends about your result. Which was their role in Ancient Rome?

Hoplomachus

Hoplomachus is a Greek title for a heavy-armed fighter. A Hoplomachus fought in heavy armour, including a brimmed helmet with a high crest, an arm guard made of bronze or quilted fabric on the right arm, long bronze shin-guards, and loincloths made of soft fabric. When fighting, a Hoplomachus hid behind a small bronze shield of a round shape and tried to strike his opponent with a spear. Probably, he also had a sword or a gladius as a secondary weapon.

Provocator

Provocators (challengers) were mentioned in the late Republican era. They are the heavily-armed type of gladiator, whose armature mirrored secutor's. The Provocator wore a large, rectangular shaped shield, a helmet without crest, first open, later completely closed, a metal or soft manica on the lower right arm and a shortcut bronze greave on the left leg. The characteristic of his armour is a small breastplate, which is usually rectangular, later often crescent-shaped. A short straight sword was provocator's weapon. They were paired only against other provocatores. Tell your friends about your result. Which was their role in Ancient Rome?

Retiarius

Retiarii first appeared on the arena in early I century A.D. They represent the type of light-armed fighter, whose appearance resembled a fisherman.

Retiarii didn't wear other body armour and fought without a helmet. He carried a trident and a net.
