The murmillo-class gladiator was adopted in the early Imperial period to replace the earlier Gallus, named after the warriors of Gaul. As the Gauls inhabiting Italy had become well integrated with the Romans by the time of the reign of Augustus, it became undesirable to portray them as enemy outsiders; the Gallus-class gladiator thus had to be retired. - x2 Nasal Helmets: The nasal helmet was a type of combat helmet characterized by the possession of a projecting bar covering the nose and thus protecting the center of the face; it was of Western European origins and was used from the late 9th century
