Arena Trader sells Zagros' Armor Set from Zagros the Mad.
“
Zagros refused to die and killed everyone they sent against him. Hacked them to pieces like a madman, hence the name. Eventually, he was pardoned and given freedom, but he had nothing to go back to, so he stayed at the arena. Forged himself his own armor, murmillo-style, and kept on fighting. He wore the mantle of the champion for nine years, which has got to be some kind of record.

“
I do, nods the trader. His helmet and the armguard. Forged from the finest iron ore, as good as any steel. I won't sell them separately, so don't ask, but I'll give you a good price - 1200 imperials for the pair
