The Thracian or Thraex was a gladiator armed in the Thracian style.
The Thracian was instantly recognizable from the representation of a griffin on the peak of the crest on the helmet, and their smaller cut down version of the traditional legionary scutum shield known as a parmula. This small shield could be rectangular, square or circular.
A sica, which was a short sword with a curved blade, similar to a small version of a Dacian Falx. This weapon was intended to maim an opponent’s unarmoured back.
