because it protects the gladiator so they dont get hurt
Hi
Depends. For example: Murmillones wore heavy plate armor about the head and neck. Retiari, on the other hand, wore little armor (essentially a pauldron and arm guard). Different kinds of gladiator wore different armor and carried different weapons during battle (remember that they typically didn't have options, as they were slaves.
steel shields and armor
sorta: mostly just a helmet and shield and sometimes leg or arm protection
Gladiators dressed the same as anyone else wearing a tunic and cloak when they were not in training or in a contest. When they were in the arena, they dressed in the type of armor that was customary for their type of fighting.
Roman gladiators wore heavy armour that was well protected. They wore this so that they did not get hurt badly. They also wore loose armour so they could move freely. When two people fought they wore a mixture of the two.

Only one of 16 different types of gladiators wore armour. This was the provocator (challenger) who wore a breastplate and whose armament was similar to that of a Roman soldiers. All other types of gladiators fought bare chested. This was a symbol of defiance against death.
