However, this was incorrect as the Hoplomachus was based off Greek hoplites, whose shields were arm-strapped, whereas bucklers and the Parma are center-gripped. It was previously noted that the Gladiator's buckler was based off the Hoplomachus' small round shield.Due to the small shield, Parmulii would wear shin guards. The Parmularius, meaning 'shield-man,' were any gladiator who used a Parma shield.Based off the armor and weapons used by the Gladiator, the Gladiator seems to be a combination of the Parmularius and the Retiarius Gladiators.They are known as Gladiatrices (Singular: Gladiatrix) by modern terms. In real life, female Gladiators did exist in Rome between 55 and 200 AD.

While Roman citizens would volunteer to become a Gladiator, many of the Gladiators were either soldier-prisoners or slaves.

Historically, Gladiators were warriors who fought in arenas against animals, condemned criminals, and other Gladiators to entertain audiences.

They fight for their own personal reasons: some fight to glory, some fight for riches. They have honed their skills through grueling matches in the arena and are now the top of their field.
