gladiator costume

Roman fighter outfit

A gladiator costume is an outfit imitating the armor and clothing of ancient Roman arena fighters—typically including a short tunic or skirt, leather or plastic armor, arm guards, and sometimes a helmet or sword.

Worn for Halloween, costume parties, or theatrical productions: He rented a gladiator costume for the toga party.

The look draws heavily on Hollywood depictions rather than historical accuracy.
