The gladiator known for using a three-pronged spear, or "trident," was called the "retiarius." This type of gladiator fought with a net and a trident, utilizing agility and strategy to ensnare opponents and strike from a distance. The retiarius was typically pitted against more heavily armored gladiators, showcasing a unique combat style that emphasized speed and finesse over brute strength.
