This is a replica of a type of helmet used by gladiators in the Roman Empire.

This Gladiator Helmet is constructed of sturdy 18 gauge mild carbon steel. It will never rust and does not need to be oiled. This replica is very like the helmet worn by Maximus in the Gladiator film.


The Romans believed when an important man died his spirit needed a blood sacrifice to survive in the after life. Gladiators were typically picked from prisoners of war, slaves, and sentenced criminals. There were also occasional volunteers. They were trained in special gladiator schools.

Measures 12" x 9".
