Scutarius A scutarius in Ancient Rome was any of the various types of gladiator who used a large shield called a samnite shield, which is named after another type of gladiator--a samnite. In Latin, the shield was called a "scutum"--where the name "scutarius" comes from. Due to having a large shield, "scutarii" would wear shin armour ("ocrea") on their right shin. This piece of armour would be smaller than the two "ocreae" worn by "parmularii," who carried a smaller,though still somewhat large, shield. Scutarii also usually carried short swords and wore visored helmets. Scutarii and parmularii are mentioned by Marcus Aurelius in his "Meditations" as two factions at the gladiator fights--both as gladiators and people who supported those gladiators.
