you must know that it is not automatic to win above all when the secutor it is in the net, when this is fast to cover itself with the shield. The adversary that I met is Rufus puts into effect them vice champion of the world of wrestling greco-roman veterans and in the body to body it is not easy to strike it. For before the question I send a relief to you from terme the Stabiane di Pompei. One of the two provocatores still wears the shield, can see the proportions.

Ave !
Regarding the winner: Dont take it seriously. I put smilies to the end. It was just a joke.
My question regarding the provocators was because we found no evidence that any of the shield that were used in the arena had 2 handles(levers) as 1 for your palm and another 1 where you can place your arm into, like hoplite shields. All we found looks more like scutum style shilds. Only one handle(lever)
I wish to fight with shield with two handles, as it is much better. So that is why I asked it. I would like to find an evidence that some kind of shield with 2 handles are authentic.
Vale!
