Salve Marce Demetri,
There were gladiators wearing tunics, the equites which opened the gladiatorial fights on horse back and then dismounted to continue the fight on foot. There are mosaics showing them, one is here:

Don't know from where that mosaic is at the moment, but will tell when I found out (or somebody else is faster to find this out :wink: )
Quote:As for the tunic, I'm no expert, but I have never seen any gladiators wearing tunicae in mosaics, sculptures, or other depictions.
