Accuracy isn't all it's cracked up to be. We are missing records and accurate depictions of equipment, so some measures of "inauthenticity" is OK. If I were reenacting a legionary, I'd agree, but gladiators? There's more room to move.
So, why wouldn't you fight in them? Are they way too thin and will give no protection at all? Will they fall apart? Etc. I've heard people say "I won't use them", but I guess I've not heard good, solid reasons yet.
And gratias. We're all learning.
