Actually it's quite interesting, having practiced historical fecning for 10 years now, I can trully say that good gloves ARE importante.
Wouldn't soldiers find that out?
Would they simply bind their hands in a way akin to boxers?
So on a practical view I'd say some sort of hand protection must have been used. Proof?
Just educated guesses and a some sore fingers (besides gladius and spatas had really small cross guards).
But it's quite an interesting topic.
