Graham,
There are three gladiator helms on this side of the pond that may be from somewhere other than Pompeii. None has a definite provenance. Interestingly, all three are brimmed and crested types, without visors. Two have cheekplates. They may be of republican date. One is in Toronto, one in Detroit and one at the Higgins Armory in Worcester, Massachusetts
