Roman Praetorian Guard Cavalry equipment.
#4
First of all decide which period exactly you're looking for. Cavalry gear changed as much as did the equipment of the infantry. The earlier mentioned straubing finds are extremely decorated and wonderful pieces, but they are 3rd century.

If you're looking into cavalry impressions don't get yourself either a lorica segmentata nor a gladius. Both items doesn't seem to have been used on horseback.

As for pics I would suggest you to get some books first and start researching/reading. Best start would be
- Markus Junkelmann - Die Reiter Roms (I, II and III)
- Southern and Dixon - The Roman cavalry

or a shorter intro (no pictures, small number of nice drawings): Peter Connolly - The Cavalryman
