Yes for the Trax/Thraex. He has a small curved blade that can reach around an opponent’s shield, and a smaller shield.
For the Murmillo and Secutor, it’s a hat competition. Secutors were usually pitted against Reitiarii - the small eyeholes in the helmet were to keep the trident, specifically, out, and the helmet had fewer features to make it harder to net.
I dig the Murmillo more, personally. The helmet has, as the Romans would say, gravitas!
Do trax, murmillo and secutor have any differing fighting styles, or is it just a hat competition?
