Oil lamp depicting Murmillo vs. Retiarius fight
#2
That helmet would be a good target for the net, wouldn't it? It's easy to see why they went with the smoother top on the secutor.

Anybody's guess who actually won, but that trident is in a bad location for the murmillo, and the impending gladius strike looks ominous, too. Neither of them would have escaped unharmed, probably.
