Eques, plural Equites
El eques era considerado un gladiador de tipo ligero. Estaba equipado con una manica tradicional (aunque en este modelo de Crusader es de metal) y yelmo cerrado. En las piernas usaba polainas o vendajes. De acuerdo a las numerosas representaciones que nos han llegado, los combates entre equites acababan a pie, donde el eques abandonaba la lanza y combatía con espada y escudo.

The eques was considered a ligth gladiator. He was equipped with a traditional manica (although this Crusader model, has a metal one) and closed helmet. In the legs they wore leggings or bandages. According to the many representations that have survived, fighting between equites ended on foot, where the eques left the spear and fought with sword and shield.
El próximo eques llevará una túnica verde.
