• Andabata — A gladiator in ancient Rome who fought on horseback or on foot wearing a completely closed structural helmet, lacking eye slits, which forced him to attack blindly, guiding himself exclusively by hearing and the cues from the audience. Andabatae shows often had a bloody and bizarre character, being organized in amphitheaters to increase the drama of the fights through the element of total uncertainty.
• Arenar — An ancient Roman gladiator who fought in the amphitheater arenas; a slave or convict sent to death in public circus spectacles. As a rare adjective, it describes a structural element, a tool, or a person directly related to cleaning, preparing, or managing the sand (arena) within performance spaces or extraction quarries.
