Production notes[edit]

References[edit]

A cestus is a boxing glove used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. It can also be used to refer to a girdle or belt worn by women in ancient Greece. Additionally, the description for the Cestus helmet reads: "Necessity is the mother of invention, but desperation is the father." The first half of the description is a famous proverb commonly associated with the story The Crow and the Pitcher found in Aesop's Fables, as well as Plato's Republic.
