Macrinus Film-Used Gold Cuffs
Film-used gold cuffs worn by Macrinus in Gladiator II, featured in pivotal moments as he orchestrates betrayals and manipulates Rome’s fate.
Description
These items are intended solely as movie props and are not designed for real-world use. Each artifact may vary slightly from photos, with unique wear from production that underscores its authenticity as a film-used item. Obtained directly from Paramount Studios, these items are genuine film props worn by actors in the movie (not replicas or costumes) and authenticated as rare cinematic artifacts from one of the greatest movie franchises ever.
Nominated for Best Costume Design at the 2025 Academy Awards, Gladiator II became a global box office smash, grossing nearly $500 million and cementing itself as one of Paramount's highest-grossing films of all time. It also ranks among the top 30 highest-grossing R-rated movies in history.
These gold cuffs were worn by Macrinus, the enigmatic power broker in Gladiator II, and were present in some of the film’s most defining moments. As a former slave turned master strategist, Macrinus operates from the shadows, guiding the empire’s rulers toward their own downfall while ensuring his grip on Rome remains unchallenged.
A Symbol of Authority and Intrigue
These cuffs serve as a silent testament to Macrinus’ power as he maneuvers Emperor Caracalla into executing his own brother, Geta, forever shifting the balance of Rome. They are present as he delivers the chilling command, “You will be my instrument,” cementing his dominance over the film’s central conflict.
Design & Cinematic Legacy
Intricate detailing reflects the refinement and status of a man who controls Rome without ever wearing a crown.
A regal gold finish complements Macrinus’ calculated presence—his elegance masking his ruthless ambition.
As part of Gladiator II’s Academy Award-nominated costume design, these cuffs embody the intersection of historical craftsmanship and cinematic storytelling.
