Its assumed that he was a Thrax, or a gladiator who fought in the Thracian armor and style. However this is only an assumption, because on the other hand he is sometimes described as a Thracian prisoner of war, Thracian being his ethnicity, and he could have fought in another style as another type of gladiator.
I suspect that you are referring to a Thracian Gladiator?! A Thracian (named so because of the resembleness of fighters from Thrace) was a type of gladiator that fought against other gladiators for the entertainment of the villages from Roman Villages, they were not as elaborately armed as a Samnite (a Heavily armed gladiator). They weiled a curved short sword, a sica, and a small round shield, a parma.

The Magna Defender, a character from the "Power Rangers" franchise, is often associated with the Thracian gladiator type. Thracians were known for their agility and use of a curved sword called a sica, which aligns with the Magna Defender's combat style and weaponry. In contrast, Murmillones and Secutores were more heavily armored and typically wielded different weapons. Thus, the Magna Defender's characteristics are more closely linked to the Thracian gladiator.
Spartacus was born a Thracian.
Leo I the Thracian died on 474-01-18.
The ancient writers say that Spartacus was a Thracian, so, if true, he would have lived in Thrace. (Ancient Thrace was loosely today's country of ROMANIA) However he was also a gladiator and the Thrax or Thracian was a type of gladiator. So its unclear if Spartacus was actually from the area of Thrace itself or if "Thracian" was his fighting style. Anyhow, right before his escape he was living in the gladiatorial school in Campania.
That was a Thracian named Spartacus.
The types of gladiators who fought with a sword and a shield were the hoplomachus, the murmillo, the thraex (Thracian) and the secutor.
