Unknown gladiatorial weapon
#21
The four-tined spear head exactly like this is very common as a tip for fishing spears in diverse cultures- moreso than the trident. I have always wondered if this was just a spear-head, continuing the fisherman theme of the retarius, with the hand-held ones being broken off tips of spears.

I regularly throw a cast net by the way, and I can't think of how something of this shape would help.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
