Some interesting pieces I found on flickr

First there is a Galerus apparently from a small Belgian museum in Verviers.

This peace is interesting not only because its not in the catalog of Gladiatorial items by Junkelmann, but also because it would be the only Galerus outside of the finds from Pompeji.

Then there are these two gladiator figurines of bronze from Autun.

The fighter on the left seems to be holding a sica but seems to lack the high greaves and the helmet of a Thraex.
I would love to see these figures from a different angle.

And here are some Gladiator memorials from Rome:

I've seen pictures of those Autun figures in a German book on the Roman spectacles. The name escapes me, unfortunately.

How about the full face helments found inscribed within the ruins of those cities under Mt. Vesuvius (reportably destroyed in 79 BCE) , which showed "movable visors?"

If you are referong to the helmets from the galdiator school baracks in Pompeji, this are widely known and published.
The items above are not shown or discussed in any of the recent publications so they might be of more interest to most readers here.

Especially the Galerus is curiously missing from the cataglogue of gladiatorial armor in the Junkelmann book.

I have taken some time to search Flickr for pictures of gladiatorial iconography and archeological items.
I grouped my finds in varous galleries which can be found here:
