The secutor was a type of gladiator. Different types of gladiator participated in different types of fights. The secutor was the "pursuer" and fought against the retiarius, the net fighter, whose job was to try to catch the opponent with a net. Besides the net the retarius had a trident to defend himself with.

The secutores had to climb while the retarius tried to keep them at bay.
The secutor wore an arm guard (manica), a greave on his right leg, thick wrappings on the tops of his feet, a very short padding at the top of the feet and a loincloth and belt, He had a gladius (short sword) and a long, oblong shield. His helmet covered his entire face to protect him against the prongs of the trident. It had two small holes for the eyes and was round and smooth so that the retarius could not grab it.
