PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- One 60cm Roman gladius sword with gray blade and gold antiqued hilt
This Kids Roman Gladius Sword Prop turns any Book Week warrior costume into the real deal — 60cm of molded plastic with a double-edged blade, spiral-motif cross-guard, and antiqued gold finish that looks like it survived the Colosseum. Lightweight enough for all-day school wear, detailed enough to earn costume-contest nods.
The gray blade has a raised center ridge running its full length (classic gladius silhouette), and the gold hilt features ornate scrollwork, spiral detailing on the guard ends, and a matching pommel. Single-piece construction means no loose parts to lose before the parade, and the hollow plastic build keeps it light for playground battles and reenactment skits.
Perfect For
Book Week & Mythology Days: Natural fit for Percy Jackson Greek demigod warriors, Roman soldier stories, or any ancient history book character. Pairs with Percy Jackson camp gear, gladiator tunics, or centurion helmets for Book Week parades.
School Plays & History Projects: Ideal for ancient Rome units, Julius Caesar performances, or any classroom reenactment where your child plays a soldier, gladiator, or forum guard. Works for both Greek and Roman themes.
Dress-Up Days & Costume Parties: Great for medieval knight costumes, Renaissance fairs, warrior-themed birthday parties, or Halloween gladiator outfits. Completes any ancient warrior or armoured hero look.
How to Wear It
Carry at the side with a fabric belt loop, or hold confidently for battle poses. Pair with a red cape, gold breastplate, or leather-look tunic for full Roman centurion energy. Skip modern accessories — sandals and a laurel wreath crown complete the ancient warrior vibe.
Parent FAQs
Is this safe for school events?
Yes — lightweight molded plastic with no sharp edges. Always check your school's toy weapon policy before the day, but this is designed as a costume prop, not a play sword.
Will it break easily?
Single-piece construction means no joints to snap, but it's costume-grade plastic, not battle-ready. Handle with care — it's built for wearing, not sparring.
Can adults use this too?
Absolutely. The 60cm length works for kids and adults in Roman soldier, gladiator, or medieval warrior costumes. Scales well with taller wearers.
Does it come with a sheath?
No — sword only. You can improvise a sheath with cardboard and fabric, or carry it tucked into a belt.
Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Store flat to prevent warping.
