Salve Uwe,
Some figurines look good like the retiarius who cought the secutor with his net.
But the woman http://panzer46.com/Gladiators/pages/DSCN6072.htm looks too fantasy like to me, like Xena. :wink: So far I have never seen any pictures of gladiators in all those book I read about this topic with pteryges. And her dress :?: looks like that of a amazon nearly leaving one breast bare if she moves a little bit more. Since there's only one ancient picture of gladiatrices is this famous relief of two provocatrices :?: found in Halicarnassos (Bodrum, Turkey). It is not clear what they wore or if they were barebreasted. My reconstruction is with a strophium and subligaculum.
And what type of gladiator is this guy (or is it a girl when looking at the hairdo) supposed to be http://panzer46.com/Gladiators/pages/DSCN6073.htm :?:
