The arbelas (plural arbelai) was a type of ancient Roman gladiator. The word is a hapax legomenon, occurring only in the Oneirocritica of Artemidorus, a Greek work on dream interpretation that discusses the symbolism of various gladiator types. It may be related to the Greek word arbelos (ἄρβηλος), a cobbler's semicircular blade used to cut leather similar to an ulu.

  • The arbelas (plural arbelai) was a type of ancient Roman gladiator. The word is a hapax legomenon, occurring only in the Oneirocritica of Artemidorus, a Greek work on dream interpretation that discusses the symbolism of various gladiator types. It may be related to the Greek word arbelos (ἄρβηλος), a cobbler's semicircular blade used to cut leather similar to an ulu. A few reliefs show gladiators armed with a curved blade fighting each other; it has been argued that these (possibly also fighting retiarii, the net-fighters) are arbelai; however, they have also been seen as the scissores who likewise may have been matched against retiarii. The scissor, with whom the arbelas may be synonymous, is referred to in a roll call from the gladiator training school (ludus) owned in the 1st century BC by the lanista C. Salvius Capito. Artemidorus lists the arbelas among gladiators who might appear in dreams advising a man about what sort of woman he is to marry. Both the dimachaerus, who fought with two curved blades, and the "so-called" arbelas signify that the woman will either be a poisoner, malicious, or ugly. (en)
  • El arbelas (en plural arbelai) era un tipo antiguo de gladiador romano. La palabra es un hápax, que ocurre solo en el Oneirocritica de Artemidoro, una obra griega de la interpretación de los sueños que discute el simbolismo de los diversos tipos de gladiadores.​ Puede estar relacionada con la palabra griega arbelos (ἄρβηλος), cuchilla semicircular de zapatero utilizada para cortar cuero,​​​ similar a un ulu. Unos pocos relieves muestran gladiadores armados con una hoja curva luchando entre sí, y se ha argumentado que estos (posiblemente luchando contra reciarios, los combatientes de redes) son arbelai,​ sin embargo, es posible que estos gladiadores sean scissoris, quienes luchaban contra los reciarios.​​ Los scissoris, quienes pueden ser sinónimo de arbelas, son referenciados en una votación nominal en la escuela de entrenamiento de gladiadores (ludus) de C. Salvius Capito, en el siglo I a. C. Artemidoro enumera los arbelas entre los gladiadores que pueden aparecer en los sueños de un hombre, para aconsejarlo con qué clase de mujer debería casarse. Tanto el dimachaerus, que lucha con dos cuchillas curvas, y los llamados arbelas significan que la mujer será o una envenenadora, malintencionada o fea.​​ (es)
