Fig. 5.—Retiarius.
Bronze Statuette from Esbarres.
Revue Archeologique, viii., 2(1852), Pl. 169.
The retiarius is without his net, and holds his trident
lowered to receive the onset of his antagonist, the secutor.
The guard on his left arm is well-shown, but he has no galerus
(cf. Pl. 28, fig. 7). He wears thick straps on his ankles and
wrists, and at the shoulder to prevent dislocation. Like other
gladiators he has for his chief garment a loincloth (subligaculuni)
girded with a broad belt.

years, Olympias, daughter of Mesius (?) whom he left be-
hind him, and Fortunensis, his daughters, and Lauricia his
wife, to her devoted husband with whom she lived seven
years. I warn you that whosoever conquers a man should
slay him. His admirers will honour his manes.”
Umbricius is dressed in the ordinary garb of a hoplomachus
or Samnite (cf. fig. 3; Pl. 28, fig. 4; Pl. 30, fig. 10), with
round scutum, short straight sword, a single greave on his
left leg, a gaiter on his right, and a loin-cloth. His helmet
like that of Baton (fig. 3) is on a staff pole beside him.
