Equipment not from Pompeii
#7
Hi Graham,
sorry for the late reply.
I have just updated my collection of Gladiatorial pictures on Flickr.
Since you are looking for non Pompejan stuff here are some helmets on display in the USA form the late Republican Period, when Gladiators still fought without visors protecting the face:

Note that on some of these the cheekguards are missing.

Also here is the Galerus from a Belgian museeum:

And here is the 2nd Century helmet on display in Berlin:

There is also the helmet in the British museum where the actualy find spot is unknown:

Junkelmann considers the workamnship of this one to be much cruder than those from Pompeji.

Lastly there is the Provocator helmet bowl from Hawkedon:

I have not found a picture of the London Trident online, but here is a reconstruction comissioned by me:

Sadly the later Gladiatorial helmets and gear can only be reconstructed from artwork and so always have to be considered hypothetic.
