Historical reference
The murmillo (also sometimes spelled "mirmillo" or "myrmillo", pl. murmillones) was a type of gladiator during the Roman Imperial age. The murmillo-class gladiator was adopted in the early Imperial period to replace the earlier Gallus, named after the warriors of Gaul. As the Gauls inhabiting Italy had become well integrated with the Romans by the time of the reign of Augustus, it became undesirable to portray them as enemy outsiders;[dubious – discuss] the Gallus-class gladiator thus had to be retired.
The murmillo was armed with:
Gladius: a Roman sword with a length of 64–81 cm and weight of 1.2-1.6 kg with a handle made of bone.
Scutum: Rectangular shield made of vertically connected wooden boards with a small bronze boss which protects the shield's handle.
Balteus: Leather belt with metal decorations and supplements. Similar to current boxing belts.
Manica: Segmented or scaled arm guard made of leather or some metal alloys. Manicae can also be mailed.
Cassis Crista: A large helmet with plume crest or horsehair, usually made of bronze, with an ornate 'grill' face visor. Usually based on the broad-rimmed Greek Boeotian helmet.
Ocrea: Shinguard/protector made of gold, silver, or other metals.
Fasciae: Thick soft padding on legs that are used to wear ocreas in order to prevent calluses and blisters.
