  1. A gladiator's symbol of freedom was a wooden sword, the rudis (ru-dihs), which meant that he no longer had to fight. It was given to a gladiator once he bought his freedom or was given to him at the request of the crowd or the Emperor.


  2. It is a training sword, for non-lethal practice.  It means 'I am definitely going to survive this match'.
