Gladiator helmet / mask

[Morba]

I'm thinking of another tattoo and want to keep the roman theme on my left arm, thinking of a gladiator helmet.

Of course there is the obvious one (from the very good film) but has anyone seen any others?

Google images doesnt return much in way of inspiration after a quick browse!

Anyone got any ideas?

could you post some pics of your current roman tattooes? intrseted to see them. As for helmet for me it woudl have to be the classic legionary one:

But to give some other ideas:

While i love the gladiator helmet, not sure its really symbolistic of rome. But i dunno is rather groovey

That's a Macedonian military helmet, not a Roman gladiatorial helmet

The roman eagle (used on standards) would probably make more sense to be honest. If you have a talented tattooist ink it.

Its really nice actually, just been searching for more on this, its quite interesting too, which is good.
can't find anything that compares to that one, though i do notice its a little similar to nazi ones, but its not close enough for many people to realise imo.
