A RETIARIUS’ TRIDENT FROM SISCIA?

Sažetak
Among the many finds discovered in the harbour of Sisak during the dredging
undertaken in the early 20th century, several pronged spears, evidently fisherman
implements, were also found. One of those finds, however, shows some
notable differences. The lack of barbs on the prongs and its general appearance,
strongly reminiscent of tridents’ depictions used by retiarii, could imply that
this artefact was never meant to be used to catch fishes. It would rather appear
that it was a gladiatorial weapon according to analogies depicted on Roman
mosaics, reliefs, graffiti, pottery and glass vessels.
