Avete omnes,
I just wanted to show this photo of a gladiator that I found recently on an Internet site. May-be, the gladiator specialists know it already - for me it was new. The relief is from a site about Halicarnassus / Bodrum, Turkey:
![[Image: bodrum_gladiator.JPG]](http://www.livius.org/a/turkey/halicarnassus/bodrum_gladiator.JPG)
Obviously here is shown a scissor with the typical weapon on his left. His armor might be something like a musculata over a tunica and the short greaves of the secutores or murmillones. The helmet seems not to be derived from the secutor class but looks more like a simple murmillo helmet of the sub-typus Chieti.
Opinions? Greets - Uwe
