Roman Sword
Roman Sword
You are a Gladiator in the Roman Colosseum, what type would you be?
A Thracian – wore ocrea on both legs, carried a small square shield, wore either a full visored helmet or an open faced helmet with a wide brim, and carried a curved Thracian sword with an angled bend in the blade;
A Secutor – took his name from the term for “pursuer” and fought virtually naked and bald, carrying a large oval or rectangular shield and a sword or dagger, wearing an ocrea on the left leg, leather bands at the elbow and wrists (manicae), and a round or high-visored helmet;
A Retiarius – symbolized the fisherman and wore only a loin cloth (subligaculum) and a metal shoulder-piece (galerus) on the left arm, and carried a net (iaculum), a dagger, and a trident or tunny-fish harpoon (fascina). One variation on the Retiarius was the Laquearii who carried a lasso instead of a net.
Of these tell me which and why.

I would be a thracian because the sword described sounds a lot like a machete and carrying a machete would be so badass. However being a gladiator in general would probably suck, but at lest I would have the chance to die with a machete in my hands.
