Lusum Cricket Ball Range
The word Lusum was chosen as it means 'Play' or 'Game' in Latin. When choosing the names of the Lusum balls, as the name of the company was in Latin, ranks of the Roman army would be used, to not only name the ball but to also give it a rank within the range. All balls from the Lusum ranges are ranked as follows
Munifex = Training ball
Optio = Match ball
Aquilifer = Elite/Performance ballThe starting level or training ball is known as the Munifex and is the equivalent rank to a private. The Optio is a rank that is 2nd in command within his Century . He is selected by the Centurion and as he would be his number 2, Lusum selected the Optio as their second top quality ball.
The Aquilifer is a Roman Standard Bearer and is the best quality ball.
