Warrior Wisdom Heading out to the Colosseum? Should be interesting.
You never know what's going to happen in the high walls of the stately stonestadiums. Who are you going to fight?
What weapons will they be using? Maybe you'll even come up against a hungry lion or ostrich (Yep, ostriches were actually introduced into the arena every so often).
Well, to be honest, most gladiators probably had their specialty. Lions weren't simply hoisted on an unsuspected fighter because it would be a waste of well-trained resources and not a very good show for the thousands of paying spectators.
Other specialties included men who battled from chariots, warriors that used two swords, and even fighters that defended themselves with a net and a trident. So if you're looking to top off your gladiator costume, you'll have to choose a weapon.
Product Detail Any gladiator would be impressed with the graceful design of this sword. It has a flat black blade with a line down the middle.
The handle has a sharp curve on the top and the bottom and has a gold base. It's made of foam with a plastic exterior and is thirty-two inches long.
The color scheme goes well with many of our gladiator costumes. No Guts, No Glory When you're dressing as a Roman gladiator, you might as well go all out.
Gladiators look awesome in gold, feathers, and red fabric cloaks. This lightweight sword will look perfect with many of these costumes.
Some people put on a polo shirt and a name tag when they go to work. Other guys like Maximus Decimus Meridius, well, they put on a frightening armor and grab a sword.
Yes, his line of work involves fighting against hordes of enemies in the ring and a polo shirt with a laminated name tag just doesn't strike fear into blood-crazed foes. A mask that looks like iron death does though!
Introducing this fully licensed General Maximus Helmet from the Ridley Scott film, Gladiator! The molded latex mask full recreates the one worn by Russell Crowe, complete with intimidating spikes on the top and pronounced facial features.
It might not turn you into a master of arms, or a combat specialist, but it does make you look tough enough to take on a lion with your bare hands. You can pair it with any of our Gladiator costumes to get the best of your opponent inside the Colosseum.
Gentlemen, Lend Me Your Spears The mythology of Greeks and Romans wouldn't be much without the drama of the gods. They really went out of their way to show the danger of having too much time on their hands.
