Atticus, being the last man standing, had earned the right to collect the cocks and balls of the fallen gladiators. It was the custom for the winner of the battle royal to display these trophies on his spear shaft for the duration of the games. Afterwards he could sell them for a tidy sum. The cocks and balls of gladiators always brought a good price. They were believed to bring fertility to the household when they were stuffed and hung in a prominent place.
