Gladiator’s Net, co-called Rete
The retiarius was a Roman gladiator who fought with equipment styled on that of a fisherman: a weighted net, a three-pointed trident, and a dagger (pugio). The retiarius was lightly armoured, wearing an arm guard and a shoulder guard. Typically, his clothing consisted only of a loincloth held in place by a wide belt, or of a short tunic with light padding. He wore no head protection or footwear.The net was used to catch the opponent, make him trip or whip him.
This net is made of 4 mm jute yarn.
