Description from the seller
Roman Gladiator & Legionary Collection – 3-Piece Display Set – Murmillo Helmets, Lorica Segmentata & Gladius – Premium Display Stands Included
An impressive three-part collection inspired by the gladiators and legionaries of ancient Rome.
This special ensemble brings together three striking Roman display objects: two imposing Murmillo-style gladiator helmets and a richly detailed Roman legionary outfit with lorica segmentata, helmet, and gladius.
Together they form one strong and cohesive presentation in which two iconic worlds of Roman history come together:
The gladiator in the arena and the legionary on the battlefield.
1. Design Toscano – Murmillo Gladiator Helmet – Pompeii Style
A large and striking Roman-inspired gladiator helmet from Design Toscano.
The characteristic broad helmet rim, tall crest, and fully open face protection create an immediately recognizable and powerful silhouette.
The blue-green verdigris patina, combined with dark aging effects, gives the surface a pronounced historic and archaeological character.
The helmet is presented on a specially crafted transparent acrylic display stand. This makes the object appear to almost float and keeps the full silhouette visible from nearly any angle.
An elegant presentation that draws all attention to the helmet itself.
Dimensions including display:
Height: 51 cm
Width: 36 cm
Depth: 35.5 cm
Weight: 1,980 g
2. Roman Legionary Armour Display – Lorica Segmentata, Crested Helmet & Gladius
A richly detailed presentation inspired by the iconic gear of a Roman legionary.
The composition consists of a Roman helmet with a distinctive red horsehair plume, a lorica segmentata-style breastplate, metal and brass-colored fittings, leather connection elements, and a separately presented gladius.
The many overlapping armor plates, rivets, bands, and decorative elements create a strong three-dimensional look and make the object fascinating up close as well.
With a height of 62 cm, this is a substantial display object that immediately attracts attention.
The entire ensemble stands on a beautifully finished hardwood presentation plinth, which provides stability and gives the legionary equipment a neat, almost museum-like appearance.
Dimensions including display:
Height: 62 cm
Width: 23 cm
Depth: 19 cm
Weight: 2,412 g
3. Pompeii-Style Murmillo Gladiator Helmet – Relief Decoration & Antique Verdigris Patina
The most sculptural and monumental object within this collection.
This imposing Murmillo-style gladiator helmet combines an exceptionally wide protective rim, tall crest, and fully perforated face protection with rich figurative relief decoration around the helm rim.
The deep dark green to almost black patina is accentuated by subtle blue-green verdigris effects. This makes the reliefs stand out beautifully and gives the helmet a dark, powerful, historically inspired appearance.
Frontally the helmet looks impressive and almost intimidating. From the side, the wide protective rim, relief decorations, and sculptural profile come fully into their own.
The presentation is enhanced by the handmade stand carved from solid natural wood. The heavy squared foot provides excellent stability, while the specially shaped bulb-shaped helmet support holds the helmet carefully and securely. The warm natural wood grain forms a beautiful contrast with the dark green-black patina and gives the helmet and stand together a high-quality, almost museum-like presentation quality.
Dimensions including presentation:
Height: 46 cm
Width: 37.5 cm
Depth: 30.5 cm
Weight: 2,922 g
This makes the helmet and stand visually one powerful and balanced collectors display.
