Gladiators used many different types of weapons including an oblong shield, a helmet with visor and a stabbing sword about two feet long. Others fought with only a net and a trident, a three-pronged spear. Although gladiators usually fought until one was killed, the losers life could be spared if the spectators waved their handkerchiefs; otherwise they turned their thumbs down, a practice continued today to express disapproval.
Character jug wears the full armor of his profession. The handle is formed by his shield and gladius Latin meaning sword from which his name is derived..
