Glossary of gladiators and weapons, but from what I've gleaned from other sources, some of the
info is WRONG (they have iaculum defined as a net...I think that rete is the right word, esp. since
Retiarius is "the net-fighter"...other sources define iaculum as a javelin or short spear) so try to
cross reference the info you take from this site or you'll make the same mistake as I.

I think that this is part of a re-enactment web ring...many of the links are gone, but though the
weapons and armor links show mostly reproductions or illustrations, there are definitions and
a little bit of history, so it is a nice reference.
