Scissor just straight up “fuck it we ball” with a shiv and a prosthetic hatchet arm is pretty metal.

Cestus! Put my money on the boy who walks into a swordfight straight throwin hands.

Retiarius, because cheap tricks are fun.

Secutors have always been my favorite. I love their fish-man helmets.

Trident and net. It has more range than the other options.

Murmillo

I remember seeing a claim that Trax used to destroy Murmilo, because the big shield was a hindrance in one on one combat. The speed and agility of the smaller shield was much better. The big shields worked well in units to make a shield wall, but less so in an arena

Retiarius, gimme that net and trident

Secutor specially designed to fight retrarii. I'll have all your tridents.

i don’t know but I would run like a miserable creature

Both middle, bottom left, all seem interesting.

Murmillo has the most styling helm, so I'm going for that.
