What was the hand sign for death in the ring Ancient rome?

The common idea that thumbs down was the sign of death for the defeated gladiator at the amphitheatre (which was an arena, not a ring) was thumb down. However, this is false. The name for the sign was "pollice verso", a Latin term which roughly translates to "turned thumb". We do not know the precise meaning of this term as we do not have a detailed description and we do not know the way the thumb was supposed to be pointed. \similarly, the term for sparing the gladiator was pollice compresso, "compressed thumb". Thus, it seems that it was neither thumb up or thumb down. You had to hide your thumb in your fist. The idea of thumb down is a later invention.
