Roman gladiators were very big celebrities They killed animals and people Also they had bows and arrows and swords Gladiators were strong Some wore armour
Different type of gladiators Secutor A secutor usually faced a retiarius in the arena. They were armed with a sword and they carried a shield. A secutor wore a smooth helmet. The helmet was smooth to make it harder for the net of a retiarius to catch it. Murmillo A murmillo, often called a fish man, wore a heavy helmet (usually with a fish motif). They fought with a sword (and didn’t have a back-up weapon) and carried a shield. Retiarius A retiarus, as mentioned above, is one of the most well-know of the gladiators. They fought with a trident and net. They aimed to knock their opponents off-balance and then trap them with their nets. The retiarius were lightly armoured – they didn’t have a helmet or a shield.
