Subligaculum

[M. Demetrius]

I've seen that, too, Jvrjenvs. I couldn't tell in the one I looked at if it was a bell or a tassel, either of which could have been some kind of "rank" insignia, or number of wins, or something like that. Or something else that we have no idea what it meant...including just a personal preference.

Bells would be a neat add-on if the gladiator fought against one of the blind gladiators.
