The armament of the Murmillo with a short sword gladius and a large, curved rectangle shield scutum is similar to that of the legion infantry. As protective clothing, he had a manica arm protector and a leg splint reaching just below the knee only on the left leg. He wore a helmet with a visor with a high, straight comb, which was also decorated with colored feathers and looked like a fish mormylos = small fish. He was fighting the Thraex. |
