This large Roman chestplate, worn significantly on screen in Gladiator II, embodies the robust and strategic design of ancient Roman armor. An authentic film-used prop sourced directly from Paramount Studios, this is not a replica or costume chestplate, but a film-used prop worn by actors on-film and authenticated as a rare cinematic artifact directly from one of the greatest movie franchises ever.
Constructed from overlapping fiberglass and molded rubber bands, this chestplate provides a realistic yet lightweight alternative to traditional metal armor, enabling actors to realistically portray the agility and protection Roman soldiers relied on. The intricate lacing and segmented layers highlight the strategic craftsmanship that made Roman armor both defensive and maneuverable. The chestplate’s weathered metallic finish enhances its historical authenticity, offering a compelling representation of Rome’s martial prowess on screen.
Each chestplate may vary slightly from photos, with unique blemishes and wear that attest to its use on set.

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.
