GLADIATOR (2000) - Roman Legionary Costume
A Roman legionary costume from Ridley Scott’s Oscar®-winning action epic Gladiator. The Roman legionaries fought alongside their general, Maximus (Russell Crowe), on the fields of Germania as they sought to subdue the region’s Germanic tribes, ultimately standing victorious on the field of battle. The costume is composed of trousers and tunic made of red wool, over which is worn a pair of leather boots, a set of vinyl 'lorica segmentata' (segmented cuirass) body armour, a leather skirt with plastic armour plating, plastic greaves and bracers, and a fibreglass helmet with plastic cheek plates and an internal felt liner. The armour is finished in metallic steel-coloured paint with leather straps to secure it in place. A red wool cloak completes the ensemble. The armour has scuffs and scratches from use, with mud still present on the boots from the Germania battle sequences. VAT Status - DAGGER
