Burdur Museum Kibyra Gladiator Relief
#1
I just found these beautifull pictures from the Burdur Museum on Flickr:

High resolution and a few more pictures can be found here:

Sadly there is no picture of the complete relief (or reliefs?) and also no information on the dating of the finds.
From the helmets and the ring mail manicae without shoulder guard of the Retiarii I would cosider these 2nd to 3rd century, however.

Edit:
I found another picture showing the third scene of the Provocator combat:

Though it can not be seen clearly, the defeated Provocator is shown without an helmet but seems to be wearing some kind of padded protection covering his skull and even down to the chin.
