Hmmm. On which original is Anthrax´ helmet based?
Why do they let a gladiator with a 3rd c. AD helmet fight against one with a 1st c. AD helmet (Lucius / Cratos)?
Why are the gladiators not wearing any textile armour, which is to be seen on basically all ancient depictions of gladiators? What is the shield grip construction of the provocators shields based on?
All in all not very convincing, IMO.
In the sense of public education I think it is not very responsible to put up such a hollywood-inspired display on public events. At least the grouping is correct, though.
