Item#:
IGN-AR038
Price: $TBA
Description:
The myrmillo was the retiarius' traditional opponent.
As such, the myrmillo was the most heavily armored
of the premier branches to overcome the advantages
of the retiarius. The visored and grilled helmet
with its fish motif was the identifying symbol
of the myrmillo. The other defensive armor included
a leather or chain mail sleeve, a metal-plated
belt for his stomach, leather straps for the thigh
protection and metal greaves on both legs. The
myrmillo's half-cylinder scutum completed his
armor along with a gladius for his weapon. The
tactics used by the myrmillo in fighting the retiarius
were to close early before his armor wore him
down or to slowly stalk the retiarius in hopes
of trapping his net and finishing him.
