You're absolutely right, Medusa, I'd totally forgotten about the equites. :oops:
I guess I'm still thinking small in the terms of what our gladiator group can do. We don't have any horses, so we don't have any equites. I can not imagine falling off a horse in gladiator garb. The rim on that helmet might be a neck-stretcher, you know?
Forgive my mis-statement.
But on the scissor, I can say if he's wearing ring maille, he's wearing some kind of cloth under it. Body hair demands that. I found out.
You know, a secutor-type, wearing maille, with a large razor on his left arm is probably better armed than the retarius. I don't know if the trident would penetrate the rings, maybe not. In which case, he's fairly well invulnerable to attack. I play around with the soft point trident I made, but I wonder if I could deal with an opponent whose only unarmored points were thighs and neck. Not much of a target you know?
