The Warriors of OldThe great Roman gladiators of the time, although pitted against each other in the arena, were very well treated for the most part. They were fed well and received the best medical attention money could buy. After all, they were both warriors and entertainers for the Roman people.After all, the great audiences of Rome wanted to see mighty warriors locked into intense competition! These powerful fighters took on not only each other in the ring but lions, tigers, even bears! We know what you're thinking, "oh my!" (You were waiting for that, weren't you?) "I could never be one of those fearsome brawlers!" Well, we're here to say that you absolutely can...look exactly like one of those battling warriors!Product DetailsEnter the ring in this Roman Gladiator Costume! Wear the ancient armor of the most brutal group of fighters since the Spartans! (And yes, among other exotic peoples, Spartans fought as gladiators.) Which tools will you choose? A net and spear (difficult to work but deadly for catching enemies by surprise), dual swords (flashy and full of offense but hard to block javelins!), or will you pick up the age-old classic pairing of the sword and shield? This costume comes with a pullover tunic, body armor that attaches with Hook and Loop fastener, faux suede armbands, a matching headband, foam shin guards, as well as a molded plastic medallion. Add some Roman-style sandals to complete the look and let the crowd go wild with the entertainment you provide! We'd recommend just looking really good in this armor instead of actually fighting since it's not quite as sturdy as what the real deal was! But hey, maybe looks will win the crowd, it's happened before!
