Macrinus' Final Act Film-Used Teal and Gold Tunic, Toga, and Belt

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.

This teal and gold ensemble is the final outfit worn by Macrinus in Gladiator II, marking the culmination of his rise to power and his dramatic fall. As Rome teeters on the edge of chaos, Macrinus, once a master manipulator, steps into the open as a ruler-in-waiting. The deep blue tunic, paired with an opulent gold-trimmed robe, visually signals his peak influence—no longer the hidden strategist but a man fully embracing the weight of empire.

Seen in the film’s final battle sequences, this costume was worn during Macrinus’ last desperate attempts to hold onto power, including sword fights in the Colosseum and his ultimate defeat at the hands of Lucius. His downfall mirrors the fate of past tyrants in Gladiator lore—proof that no ruler, no matter how cunning, can escape the consequences of their ambition.

Key Moments in Gladiator II

- The Final Stand in the Colosseum: As rebellion erupts around him, Macrinus is forced into a last, brutal fight for survival—his carefully orchestrated empire collapsing around him.

- The End of a Master Manipulator: After years of shaping Rome from behind the scenes, Macrinus finally meets his fate in armed combat—outmatched and unable to escape the violence he once controlled from a distance.

- A Symbol of Power—and Its Limits: The deep blue and gold color palette reinforces his imperial ambitions, but like Commodus before him, he ultimately overreaches, sealing his doom.

This costume defines Macrinus’ final moments on screen, worn during the last fight sequences of the film before his death. The wardrobe itself embodies Gladiator II’s themes of power, fate, and the inevitability of downfall—a striking reminder that Rome's throne is never secure.
