Cant find the source .. ... too many books !!

What is interesting ref Spartacus is that at time of his hooligan adventure how different was Gladiator gear from that of Legionaires ? Why then would they exchange rather than augment ?
My view would be that Thracian/ Hoplo shields would be of limited use in a large scrap but Gaul/Samnite kit would be useful.
It is more likely the number of Gladiator weapons which needed augmenting as other slaves joined in.
