Retiarius gladiator figurine with trident and net.

Solid cold cast bronze figurine.

Felted on the bottom to protect surfaces.

Well protected within polystyrene casing and a sturdy box.

The Retiarius, one of the most distinctive and specialized types of Roman gladiators, captured the imagination of ancient audiences with his unique fighting style and unconventional weaponry. Characterized by his minimal armor—a protective shoulder piece called a galerus, a manica (arm guard), and a loincloth—the Retiarius wielded a net (rete) to ensnare opponents, a trident (fuscina) to deliver lethal blows, and a dagger (pugio) for close combat. This gladiator's agility and tactical finesse stood in stark contrast to their heavily armed adversaries, such as the murmillo or secutor, transforming their battles in the amphitheaters into dramatic spectacles of speed, strategy, and raw skill. The Retiarius’s distinctive approach highlighted the diversity and complexity of gladiatorial combat in ancient Rome, making him a fascinating figure in the annals of Roman entertainment and martial prowess.

Cold cast bronze combines real bronze powder with resin to create sculptures that replicate the look and weight of solid bronze. The pieces are highly detailed, with finely crafted textures and a smooth, polished finish. Each statue is substantial in weight, offering a realistic and durable representation of traditional bronze craftsmanship.
