This Samnite gladiator model, designed by 3D Breed, pays homage to one of the earliest and most heavily armed gladiator types. Perfectly scaled for wargaming, it’s ideal for historical skirmishes or diorama enthusiasts recreating the ancient Roman arena.

The Samnite gladiator was inspired by the warriors of the Samnite tribes, early adversaries of Rome. They were equipped with a large rectangular shield, a short sword, and a distinctive helmet adorned with a crest and side feathers. Among the first gladiator classes to appear in the Roman games, the Samnite embodied Rome’s conquest of its early rivals. Though eventually replaced by other gladiator types, their legacy endured as a symbol of strength and martial prowess in the arena's earliest spectacles.
