Did gladiators where capes?

Gladiators did not typically wear capes as part of their standard attire in the arena. Instead, they generally wore minimal armor and protective gear, such as a loincloth, helmet, and sometimes arm or leg guards, depending on their type and style of combat. Capes were more commonly associated with Roman soldiers or certain ceremonial figures rather than gladiators themselves. However, some representations in art and popular culture may depict them with capes for dramatic effect.
