This giant was a supersize retiarius.

In his hands were the weapons of a retiarius - a trident and a weighted net.

Here, face downward, was a Samnite with his oblong shield; yonder lay a bare headed retiarius with his net and three-pointed lance.

The Retiarius endeavoured to throw the net over his antagonist, and then to despatch him with the spear.

Like as not, now, some toe-dancing stripling of a retiarius will entangle me in his net this very afternoon, and no mercy signal has been or will be given this day.
