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). In English, "cestuses" can be used.
Early Greek cestuses
The first cestuses in Ancient Greece were used in boxing-like competitions. Called meilichae (μειλίχαι), these gloves consisted of strips of raw hide tied under the palm, leaving the fingers bare.
The Greeks also invented a variation called the sphaerae (σφαῖραι), which were sewn with small metal balls covered with leather.
Roman cestuses
The Roman variant included straps of different lengths, many reaching to the elbow, in order to protect the forearm when guarding heavy blows.Caestūs were frequently used in Roman gladiatorial bouts, both against each other and against other weapon-wielding gladiators. Despite seemingly outmatched by other types of gladiators, a single hit from a cestus would have incapacitated most fighters. The cestus-fighter would have otherwise had no body armour.

I admit to cry and scream Can't this merely be a dream Didn't believe what they say But now we're seperated by death Our characters the same One's fault the other's blame Now that you're gone and I'm alone It's pale where the sun once shone All the things that we have been through Sorrow and joy I gave you Living by each other's strength I knew you, you knew the me It all happened way too fast I can't accept this ain't no end You must be hiding somewhere No please God this ain't fair Why me? I'm being swallowed by these questions Why me? Shivers down my spine Why me? I'm being punished for no reason Why me? Lost in misery There are things you can't control Before you know it claims you whole Letting go might seem the worst part Think again when grief's tearing you apart Try remembering the good things Still submit yourself to sadness Because he who pushes all away Severely suffers every day Why me? I'm being swallowed by these questions Why me? Shivers down my spine Why me? I'm being punished for no reason Why me? Lost in misery All shaken I awake The nightmares in my sleep Dreams of you I cannot rest Scared of the person I knew best Cold and left behind The one I loved ain't here tonight I'll pay for a visit therefore instead I feel relieved facing my own death Why me? I'm being swallowed by these questions Why me? Shivers down my spine Why me? I'm being punished for no reason Why me?
