Gladiator Warrior Child Costume
(Available at Child Sizes to Fit Small, Medium and Large Size Boys).

This little gladiator may look like the real McCoy, but this is a Halloween costume and he will not be fighting anyone.

The adorable Gladiator Warrior Child Costume is comprised of a white tunic, a shiny black body armor trimmed with gold strips, an attached red cape, a pair of black arm bands trimmed and studded with gold, a pair of wrist cuffs adorned with gold edging, leg guards and a matching head black and gold headpiece.

Unlike many other gladiators through history, this Halloween gladiator will live long and thrive.

 

Hollywood films and epic stories may romanticize Roman gladiators as heroic figures but the truth is that they were merely low class citizens, slaves and prisoners who were forced to entertain the elite by battling against one another or against wild beasts. Gladiatorial games were first noted in the Punic Wars of the 3rd century BCE and lasted through the Roman Republic and its Empire until the 5th CE

The word “gladiator,” by the way, means “swordsman” in Latin and it derived from “gladius” which means “sword.”

So, relive this ancient sport / entertainment by putting on a gladiator costume and braving a public appearance in a Halloween setting arena — an adult gladiator costume for yourself and a child gladiator costume for your kid.
