		The Murmillo was considered heavily armed only because of the large oblong shield that covered his legs.

	Murmillo
		However, the pairing of murmillo and retiarius was quite a late development, and never as fixed as the pairing of secutor and retiarius, yet the murmillo was so-called even when his opponent was the thraex or hoplomachus, so it would seem the question still stands.
		Unlike the thraex or hoplomachus, the murmillo, having the almost complete cover of the very large shield, the scutum, did not need the high, thigh length greaves that they wore—so long as there was sufficient overlap between the bottom of the shield and the top of the greave, his defence was maintained.

		Combat between the murmillo ('fish-fighter', so called from the logo on his helmet) and the thraex or hoplomachus was a standard favourite.
		The murmillo had a large, oblong shield that covered his body from shoulder to calf; it afforded stout protection, but was very unwieldy.

		A Retariius typically fought a "Gallic" gladiator (also called a murmillo) who wore a rectangular shield and a visored helmet decorated with a fish (murmillo) or a Samnite.
		SAMNITE: The Samnite took his name from those people defeated by Rome's Capuan allies in 312 B.C. and the armour he wore and the weapons he used were supposedly adopted as a sign of contempt for the Samnites.
		The Gaul (Murmillo), the Thracian, and the Samnite all represented the very barbarians Rome had vanquished, confirming to Romans what they wanted to hear - that Rome was the very center of the world it had conquered.

	Legion XXIV - Ludus Magnus Gladiatorial
		MIRMILLO / MURMILLO "Fish Man" With just right arm protection and a non-visored helmet, these gladiators were relatively unprotected; but were still considered "heavy" fighters due to the large and heavy shield they carried.
		The term of Mirmillo/Murmillo or Fish Man may have come from the fact that they were generally paired with the "Retarius" or Net Fighter who would attempt to catch his Fish Man opponent in his net and then stab him with his trident spear.
		Note the smooth contours of the Secutor helmet that minimized its being snagged by the Retiarius' net, with whom the Secutor was usually paired.
