Ursus 6 Report post Posted June 3, 2009 Sadly we have no Gladiatrix reenactors in the states that I am aware of. I would find that very interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Formosus Viriustus 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Reading Tacitus I came across a type of gladiator I had never heard of before : the 'Crupellarii'. They were Gallic gladiators who wore full body armour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Medusa 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Indeed the crupellarius is mentioned only once literally. And then there is a little statuette found in France, dating from 1st century AD which is supposedly a crupellarius. Yes, I know that this Hungarian group is having a crupellarius in their program cause I've seen their performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Formosus Viriustus 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 Since they are mentioned nowhere else, could they have been a local, typically Gallic variant ? Formosus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
