Secutor
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
A Secutor (pl. Secutores) was a type of Murmillo gladiator who was specially armed and trained to fight a Retiarius. A Secutor's helm was different from the distinctive Murmillo helm in that a Secutor had only two small eye-holes, in order to prevent a Retiarus's trident from being thrust through the face. Otherwise, he was armed identically to the Murmillo.
