Metal Cestus
The Metal Cestus is an upgrade to Ezio's fists weapon slot. It can be purchased from any blacksmith. When equipped, it will boost the damage of fists from 1 to 3. It will be automatically equipped when purchased, and cannot be unequipped. The Metal Cestus upgrade will give you a slight advantage for Beat Up events, and other missions that involve unarmed fighting. A particularly useful moment to equip the Metal Cestus is on the last level against Rodrigo Borgia, wherein you are disarmed of all weapons except the Metal Cestus. The origin of this weapon is the ancient Roman Empire, where gladiators used weapons similar to the Cestus in arena fights.
The Metal Cestus is the only small weapon you can have equipped along with another small weapon, though they can't be used together.

The Cestus makes fist fights easier
Trivia
- At the beginning of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, when Ezio is wearing the Armor of Altaïr, the Metal Cestus is not present.
- In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood when armor removal is performed by replaying DNA Sequence 2: Memory 4 with the Armor of Brutus worn, then re-equipping the Roman Spaulders from a Blacksmith should remove all armor except the spaulders. (You must re-equip the spaulders twice for it to work, then exit the memory and there! Most of your armor is un-equipped.) The glove will be removed but the metal on it will remain on Ezio's hand. Making it look like the metal is attached to his hand.
