Possibly the most recognizable and on-screen shown Gladiator helmets from the series, this set, featuring a Praetorian helmet and facemask, offers an authentic piece from the elite ranks of Rome’s Imperial Guard as portrayed in Gladiator II. 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.

The Praetorian helmet, with its high-arching crest and intricate details, captures the power and loyalty embodied by the emperor’s closest defenders. Paired with this is the facemask, crafted with a stern, stoic expression that conveys both protection and intimidation. Together, these pieces represent the unwavering presence and authority of the elite Praetorian Guard, adding a striking element to the portrayal of Rome’s most trusted soldiers on screen.

The deep purple highlights the Praetorian’s position as the most elite hand picked guards for the Emperors from the Roman Army. In Gladiator II, the twin emperors Caracalla and Geta are portrayed by Fred Hechinger and Joseph Quinn. These characters are based on the historical Roman co-emperors who ruled together briefly in the early 3rd century AD. Their reign was marked by intense rivalry and political intrigue, elements that the film explores to depict the complexities of shared power in ancient Rome. 

Each set may vary slightly from photos, with unique blemishes that only enhance its authenticity as a film-used ensemble.

Made of rubber and fibreglass and painted to resemble metal, the helmet is weathered with shades of black to achieve a battle-worn appearance, staying true to the aesthetic of ancient warfare.

From legendary director Ridley Scott, Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, vengeance, and survival in Ancient Rome. Years after the death of the revered hero Maximus, young Lucius (Paul Mescal) faces the brutal reality of Rome’s expansion as his home falls under the iron rule of co-emperors Caracalla and Geta. Captured and thrown into the gladiatorial arena, Lucius is trained by Macrinus (Denzel Washington), a former slave turned master strategist, who harbors his own ambitions to overthrow Rome’s tyrannical leaders. As Lucius fights to reclaim his honor, Gladiator II showcases the relentless might of the Roman infantry and the heart-pounding world of the Colosseum. Each authentic, screen-used artifact captures a piece of this grand narrative, bringing to life the grit and glory of Ancient Rome’s legacy.
