I've just thought... here are some of the books I looked at, thanks to the Colchester Museum Resource Unit.
“Emperors and Gladiators” by Thomas Weiderman
“The World of the Gladiator” by Suzanna Shadrake
“Das Spiel Mit dem Tod, So Kampften Roms Gladiatoren” Marcus Junkleman (for the illustrations; I can’t read German)
I also looked online at images for retiarii because there seems to be some contadictions about what they wore on their shins. The Colchester Vase is worth looking at, as is the Chester slate.
