I Am Spartacus!

Hidden away in Yahoo Groups is an obscure little one I set up about ten years ago called  Munera, which is dedicated to gladiatorial miniatures games. I was looking for some information in it the other day, when I came across a few posts looking at gladiator names. This led to the group's database in which were 40 or so historical gladiator names from various sources. I thought it too good a resource to languish in the obscurity of a Yahoo Group, so thought it could languish in obscurity here as well.

I know I found a few of these, but other people added data too. Unfortunately I don't know who they are. If you're reading this and you see one of your contributions then please make yourself known in the comments and take all the credit you deserve.

At present all of my gladiator miniatures are labelled with numbers. I rather like the idea of giving each one a permanent name, matching the types given above where possible. Unfortunately I have more figures than there are names above, so I am going to have to be creative. It would appear that gladiator names were a mixture of real names and nicknames, so there's a certain amount of flexibility possible.
