The Warriors of Old
The 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 Details
Enter 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!
Questions & Answers
Q: How practical and comfortable is this costume for salsa dancing? Will it fall apart as you dance the night away? Thanks! (1 Answer)
Asked by Robert | October 12, 2026
Monster Responds...
The polyester interlock knit tunic is a pullover with a boat neck and cap sleeves, so it moves freely and won't restrict your arms or hips on the dance floor. The arm bands, wrist guards, shin guards, and shoulder guard all fasten with hook and loop closures, so they stay put but are easy to adjust if anything shifts during a long night of dancing. The chest piece and cape are one attached unit, which keeps things tidy, and the foam pieces are lightweight enough that you won't feel weighed down.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: What size should we order for 5’11” and 145lbs with a 35in chest?
(1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | October 9, 2026
Monster Responds...
With a 35 inch chest, the Small could work well since its chest range starts at 48 inches, which is the costume measurement rather than your body measurement. Since costume chest measurements are larger than body measurements to allow room to wear the piece, the Small is likely your closest fit, but compare your chest measurement to the size chart to be sure.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Do the belt/straps on the chest actually open and close? Looking to attach a belt sword holster/sheath. (1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | October 3, 2026
Monster Responds...
The belts on the chest piece are attached and decorative, so they don't open or close on their own. Since they're fixed to the front of the body armor, you'd likely need to run your sword holster or sheath through or around them rather than clipping directly to a working buckle.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Hi!
The sizes for this dont seem right, according to the size chart the small is 50inches at the chest?
Please can you advise on the sizing

Asked by Chelsey | September 27, 2026
Monster Responds...
Those measurements are for the costume itself, not your body. The Small tunic measures 48 to 50 inches around the chest, which means it's designed to fit over your body with room to spare. To find your best size, compare your actual chest measurement to our chart and choose the size where your number falls comfortably within the range.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Can you tell me why the XL fits a larger chest than the plus size? Is the XL chest 54” true to size? (1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | June 25, 2026
Monster Responds...
Totally fair question. The XL chest range is 54" to 58", so it's sized for a larger frame than the standard Large, which runs 51" to 55". If the plus size you're comparing has a chest range that starts lower than 54", that overlap or difference is just how those two cuts are proportioned. For the best fit, compare your actual chest measurement to the ranges in our size chart, since costume sizing doesn't always follow clothing sizes.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: In the inclusions, does the "medallion" mean the shield with the sword? Please advise. Thank you (1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | April 19, 2026
Monster Responds...
The medallion is a separate decorative piece, not a shield or sword. It's a molded plastic medallion that fastens to the costume with a safety pin. No shield or sword is included with this costume.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: I'm 6'3" with a 44" chest. Looks the the small size would fit but the length is pretty short. Is that the best option or just go for the large and safety pin the extra fabric on the back 🧷 What feed back have you've received?
(1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | October 9, 2025
Monster Responds...
With a 44" chest, the Small's chest range of 48" to 50" does give you room, but the Large is the stronger choice for you. The Large covers a 51" to 55" chest and has a shirt length of 39" and tunic length of 37", which will sit more comfortably on a 6'3" frame than the Small's 38" shirt length and 34" tunic length. Comparing your measurements against our full size chart is the surest way to land on the right fit.(AI Generated Answer)

With a 44" chest, the Small fits chests up to 50" and would give you the closest fit, though it will still have some room. At 6'2" the shirt length of 38" should work well for your height. These costume measurements are intentionally generous, so the Small is your best starting point here. Comparing your measurements against our full size chart before ordering is always the surest way to confirm the right fit.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: The chest size on the small is showing as 48-50 inches. Is this correct? The plus size is barely bigger than this. (1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | July 29, 2025
Monster Responds...
Those measurements are correct. The Small chest is 48 to 50 inches, which is the measurement of the costume itself rather than your body measurement. Because the tunic is a pullover with a relaxed fit, the garment is cut generously so it drapes well, which is why even the Small runs large. To find your best fit, compare your actual chest measurement to our size chart, and if you fall between sizes, sizing down is worth considering here since the costume has extra room built in.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Does the chest plate have a shoulder guard on both shoulders, or just the shoulder that is not covered by the cape?

Hello! There is only one shoulder guard that is used to attach the cape.Reviews

This Roman Gladiator costume receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, with buyers consistently praising its realistic appearance, good quality materials, and fit that matches the product photos accurately. A few minor complaints include velcro that doesn't always hold well, a tunic that can run short, and some straps that may be too small or large depending on body type, but most buyers found these issues easy to work around and reported receiving many compliments wearing it.(AI Generated Review Summary)

Height 5'5 | Weight 130 lbs | Size SmallAmazing costume. I ordered a small in men's, and I expected it to run big since I'm a girl, but it still works great despite being a little bulky. As much as I love it and I think it blows spirit halloween costumes out of the water, the tunic wasn't included :(. Not the end of the world, I can just buy a big T-shirt so I don't flash everyone, but for $60, I kinda wanted the whole costume.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Roman Gladiator CostumeBy Anonymous | April 29, 2016
What I received when I ordered this costume is exactly what is pictured in the website
illustration, down to the last detail. Of course I had also ordered the shield and sword
which are not part of the basic costume. I have a size 44 chest, and could well have
ordered a "Small" size instead of the "Medium" size, but the costume fitted remarkably
well. Needless to say I was surprised and impressed with the admiring attention the
costume received (I wore it to an adult "Toga" party). I have understated that fact:
It won the first prize in every category. The materials used are of very good quality
as costume materials are rated. Consider me "pleased".Was this review helpful to you? - Great costumeBy Anonymous | November 6, 2014

Needed a costume on short notice and this one looked good. I have no complaints about the quality, except the Velcro could have held a bit better. I ended up looping a stitch through to help it hold.

This costume is awesome! It looks great and fits exactly as expected. Some of the velcro has a little difficulty sticking, but it was easily fixed. I had some extra velcro strips from another project, so I sewed them to it. This made it easier to attach the pieces together. If you need to look like a Roman Gladiator or God, this costume is the ticket.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Four StarsBy Anonymous | November 11, 2022

As others have noted, the tunic is a bit small, so either where something underneath it or be wary of how you sit down in this costume. The braces were bit large especially for my thin arms and legs, but you can double tie them in no problem. Barring these problems, the quality is very nice, and I was the best dressed at my Halloween party. Recommend it!Was this review helpful to you? - Four StarsBy Current Customer | November 18, 2018

I wore this for a Halloween party a few years ago and it fit well for the most part. The tunic was a little bit short so I had to be conscious about it riding up when I was sitting down and showing my boxers...which I'm guessing the Romans never wore. I'll recycle it again though and wear it in the future.Was this review helpful to you? - I love itBy Mauro Cunha | August 2, 2017

Got this for my Husband to wear to Disney's Mickey's not-so-scary Halloween Party and it fit him great. He got a lot of compliments on it.
He's 5:10 and 200 pounds and size 38 waist and this fit him perfectly and he still had plenty of room to move around without it being tight or restrictive so great costume.Was this review helpful to you?
