| POLL DESCRIPTION | |
One of our upcoming painting contests will feature the 54mm historical figures from Alpha Miniatures. One of the rounds will be devoted to gladiators. Which of the following figures would you like to see in the contest? (You can vote for up to five favorites, although only the figure with the most votes will be used.) | |
Scorpus the Retiarius | Scorpus is a Retiarius gladiator from the Imperial Roman era. This type of gladiator fought with a trident (a three pronged spear), a dagger and a net. His usual opponent was a Secutor.
|
|---|---|
Brittanicus the Secutor | The Secutor was a variety of the Murmillo gladiator, specially designed to fight the Retiarius. He wore a high-visored helmet with very small eyeholes which restricted his hearing and sight.
|
Brutus the Hoplomachus | |
Philemon the Thraex | The Thraex was armoured very similarly to the Hoplomachus. He wore full greaves on both legs, padding on his left arm and a full helmet, commonly adorned with a griffin . His equipment included a small square or round shield and a sword.
|
Flamma the Provocator | This miniature is of a Provocator gladiator. Provocator's were medium gladiators and usually fought each other. They were armoured with a visored helmet, a breastplate, a half-length greave on their left leg and padding on their right arm.
|
Gaius the Murmillo | The Murmillo gladiator derived his name from a Greek word for fish. His main opponents were the other heavy gladiators, the Thraex and the Hoplomachus.

Lucius the Medium Gladiator | |
Cogidumnus the Dimachaerus | |
