Gladiator Roman Costume
  Gladiators
By far the best known Roman figures are the gladiators. These Roman “performers”, the rock stars of the ancient world (who very rarely retired in comfort!) have been shaped by numerous movies and historical adaptations.
If you have also been fascinated with the life these tough fighters lead, choose a gladiator costume this Halloween.
For a great image choose the Gladiator “fight to the death” Adult Costume. It comes with everything but the weapon – shirt, cape, gleaming chest plate armor and skirt, full helmet, and wrist, shoulder and shin guards.
Dressed like that, there will be no enemy who can defeat you, and every woman will wonder what brutal, fierce warrior resides under that helmet?

Roman toga costume
  Toga! Toga! Though better known for frat parties today, togas were an essential item in Roman life. They were worn for ceremonial purposes and were a status symbol, and only allowed to be worn by male citizens of the Roman Empire – foreigners and even Romans banned from the empire could not wear it.
Toga costumes come in a variety of styles, from simple, charming white outfits to elaborate, gold-embroidered costumes with regal sashes to denote a high official.
There’s a lot of great variations for women, too, from gorgeous full length white gowns to short, skimpy and sexy togas.
Purchase a laurel crown and a pair of Roman sandals and you will be ready to converse in the Forum – “Romans, lend me your beer!”
Roman costumes tackle a great variety of subjects and characters. Choose your favorite one and revive one of the most successful civilizations that ever existed! Whether you want to be a sexy goddess or empress or you are thinking about a warrior or emperor costume, the ancient Rome can serve as inspiration for an elegant and stylish costume that will instantly put you in the spotlight!
Typical Roman dress included the toga (wearable by men who were Roman citizens only) and the stola, a long gown worn by married women. Both sexes wore a tunic, usually two – one as an undergarment, and one (usually shorter) over top. Slaves and lower class Romans only had a single tunic in their entire wardrobe. Can you imagine wearing what is basically a night shirt day in, day out?
