The myrmillo was the retiarius' traditional opponent. As such, the myrmillo was the most heavily armored of the premier branches to overcome the advantages of the retiarius. The visored and grilled helmet with its fish motif was the identifying symbol of the myrmillo. The other defensive armor included a leather or chain mail sleeve, a metal-plated belt for his stomach, leather straps for the thigh protection and metal greaves on both legs. The myrmillo's half-cylinder scutum completed his armor along with a gladius for his weapon. The tactics used by the myrmillo in fighting the retiarius were to close early before his armor wore him down or to slowly stalk the retiarius in hopes of trapping his net and finishing him. The Gladiator Myrmillo makes a great collector's item or kids toy. The Gladiator Myrmillo is very authentic to what they wore during that period of time. These figures come complete as shown (clothing, weapons, armour, swords, dagger, and shields) unless otherwise specified. The kids toys are 1/6 scale and all have moveable body parts and everything can be taken off or put back on.
