cestus
A cestus or caestus is an ancient battle glove, sometimes used in pankration. They were worn like today's boxing gloves, but were made with leather strips and sometimes filled with iron plates or fitted with blades or spikes, and used as weapons.
==Terminology==
The word ''caestus'' is Latin, a deverbal noun derived from the verb ''caedere'', meaning "to strike", and can be reasonably translated as "striker". The Latin plural is ''caestūs'' (since this is a fourth declension noun, where ''cestus'' in the second declension - nominative plural ''cestī'' - means a girdle or belt).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Latin Word Study Tool )〕 In English, "cestuses" can be used.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=cestus )〕
