"Gladiator graveyard": BBC programme Friday
#12
He had an arm-guard with a built in half-moon shaped blade. I understand the type appeared quite late, and his weapon was specifically designed to create inpressive bu not fatal or permanantly disabling wounds.

One thing I noticed - were legionaries really employed to escort wild beasts to arenas? (They looked, incidentally, suspiciously like they were wearing armour from Gladiator - appropriate in a way, I suppose, but a shame given the apparent attention to accuracy of the reconstructed gladiators).
