Samnites, provacators and secutors are all types of gladiators, each with their own equipment. Their weapons ranged from javalins, the fascina, to swords, the gladius. They also sometimes carried a net, an iaculum. The typical armour was a visored helmat, galea, a metal shoulder piece, galareus, elbow bands, manicae, greaves, ocrea, and a round or oblong shield, parma or scutum.
