Gladiatorial Armor
#1
Hey folks,

Researching another kit option, this time one that I personally never really entertained the thought of before, but think it may be kinda' cool! A gladiator!

My question is what mix of armor went with what type of fighter? A Thracian would have his characteristic helmet, a small shield, thigh length greaves and a sword, correct? A Secutor a gladius, scutum, manica and helmet? Was there some variety allowed, in general?

Say, could I pose as a Thracian (which has my favorite helmet) and wear thigh-length greaves, a manica and a galerus in addition to having a scutum? Or would that be closer to a Hoplomachus?

Just want to get it all straightened out! Thanks!
