In Roman society, the Retiarius was a type of gladiator. They were the most strangely equipped glaiator, having only a Trident, a net with lead weights at the end, and a dagger. The net could be used to ensnare or trip up an opponent. The net had a long cord attached to it, making it easier to retrieve it. Other than a loincloth, leather belt, and a raised shoulder-guard on their left shoulder, they were bare. The trident gave them a longer reach than gladiators equipped with short swords. The dagger was used to give a killing blow to an opponent ensnared in the net. Retiarius is Latin for "net man". The most common adversary for the Retiarius was the Secutor.
