The Acherontia set is an epic level weapon set for the Gladiator Hero.
Etymology[]
The name, "Acherontia," has two immediately prominent sources of origin:
- There was a city by the same name that was a small town in the Apulia region of Italy, and is now called Acerenza. While it being always a small town caused cartographers not to record the town, the town itself was situated on an elevation that would have given it importance from a military point-of-view.
- The name is also the name of the genus Acherontia, also known as the Death's-head hawkmoth, in which there are three species of moths. All of these species of moths feature a vaguely human skull-like pattern on their thorax.
- Based on the design seen on the weapon and shield, it is likely the hawkmothes were the main inspiration of this set's design.
