Talk:Scissor (gladiator)

=Lack of Sources==

Basically this article is entirely made up, hence the lack of sources. There is almost nothing known of this gladiatorial type, the weapon would scarcely have had the same name as he who used it (scissor), and the description of it seems to be based on a miniature figure that someone imaginative has created.

Move to strike anything not factual (i.e., nearly everything).67.101.119.99 (talk) 01:22, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Deadliest warrior simulation
Why is the "simulations" from "deadliest warrior" used as a source? They don't say anything about how deadly the wepond would have been in the historical gladiator fights... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.185.28.175 (talk) 14:21, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Secutor?
The Retiarius article notes a type of Secutor depicted in the Eastern Roman Empire as using a similar weapon to that the Scissor is theorized to have used; referenced are page 63 of 'Junkelmann, Marcus (2000). "Familia Gladiatoris: The Heroes of the Amphitheatre", Gladiators and Caesars: The Power of Spectacle in Ancient Rome. University of California Press. ISBN 0-520-22798-0' and 73-74 of 'Auguet, Roland [1970] (1994). Cruelty and Civilization: The Roman Games. London: Routledge. ISBN 0-415-10452-1'. Some mention should be made of this, but I'm not sure what. Allens (talk) 00:29, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Article title
I have just moved this page from Scissor (gladiator type). I've never seen the word "type" used in a disambiguating title before and it seems redundant and odd. --Lo2u (T • C) 18:19, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Time
If it was lethal, it might have been used in early funeral games. Thunderthrout (talk) 05:52, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
