Mens Roman Centurion Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

Get started, get gluingAfter I knew what shape I wanted to create, I curved a piece of cardboard so it fit most of the way around the circumference of the helmet. (images 4-8)

if you leave 1cm (or 1/4 inch) between the cardboard and the belt, the slats hang more freely and act less like cardboard. (image 3) Since the shield was recessed, I mounted some cardboard to the interior of the shield. I used wood glue - which doesn't work well on plastic - use hot glue to begin with and you're fine and dandy.This Cylon costume is 100% COMPLETE, you will NOT have to modify it or search to buy weapons as it comes with the sword & scabbard, a working rifle, and working bulb scanner. I will also include a 1 hour CD of the sound effects (eye "warble" sound and professionally made Cylon voices using an analog vocoder) which contains much more phrases than the movies and series combined!! The costume will be fully insured and I would like to see it go to the hands of someone who really wants Enhance your authenticity with our range of accessories, from laurel wreaths to prop weapons. These details will transport you to a world where gods and mortals coexist, creating an unforgettable experience. Rediscover History I sandwiched the broom section between two pieces of curved cardboard. This gave me flexibility in case I messed up and glued them incorrectly - I wouldn't damage the crest holder re-positioning the broom location. Our “Cassius” collection embodies everything we love about Roman armor and clothing - it is basic, functional, but still beautiful. The sheer amount of technology that the Romans developed is awe-inspiring, which makes it easy to fall in love with such an amazing time period and the artifacts that go with it. Roman clothing and armor is handsome, practical, and also amazingly well documented, which makes our job easier! The Romans had an astute commitment to recording their military tactics, regalia, and life. I wanted to make it look robust, and I needed the surface area to make a strong bond with the glue.

I wanted this to fold over and act as the curved section of the helmet. I cut long slits down the center of it so I could curve it and fold the flaps over. (image 4)Get a belt (images 1-2)I got a belt from the dollar store. It barely fits on the last hole.(image 5) This part was rather difficult to make it look how I wanted it to look. In the end, it looks fine, but I'm still overly critical of it. On the armor side, I used a piece of plastic from a folder (image 7) and cut it. I then grommetted thru the chest armor with two holes. (you'll first need to cut holes in the plastic - that stuff is tough!)

Cassius was a straight forward man: he enlisted to dedicate his life to the emperor and spent every waking moment serving to the best of his ability. It was difficult to pinpoint exactly when his shift in attitude occurred, and what led to the decision to plot the emperor’s downfall- but when you deal with tyranny day in, day out, the romance of fighting for such a man begins to fade. On the day of the emperor’s assassination, one thing was clear: that day, Cassius was no longer serving the emperor. That day, he was fighting for Rome. In the late Republic, centurions were paid five times more than a normal legionary. Centurions also received a higher bonus from war booty, as, for example, in 64 BCE when Pompey gave each centurion a bonus of 1,000 drachmas whilst legionaries got only 50 drachmas each. By the 1st century CE, centurions were getting 15 times the pay of a legionary; senior centurions considerably more. Centurions were also notorious for bolstering their pay with bribes, as it was they who assigned duties and recommended promotions for the men below them. Famous CenturionsRoman legionary armor was easy to construct and provided the most vital amount of protection without weighing down the wearer too much. It was designed to be easily transported and standardized to almost any size so that it could be used again by future soldiers. This same concept applied to a lot of Roman clothing. This approach didn’t by any means make any of their fashion or armor ill-fitting or less attractive, though - the Romans were still undeniably stylish! Real roman armor was usually made out of iron and bronze. Given that we live in the modern world, making armor out of these materials it’s not really practical anymore, which is why we decided to make it from stainless steel with brass accents. These materials are more durable, more readily available, and still, look just as good! Roman armor at a discount The bristles are bundled with wire - DO NOT CUT THE WIRE!! You will make a mess and make it much more difficult to mount. I'm fairly sure that most brooms have a twisted wire configuration to hold the bristles in. Putting together a complete kit can be hard! It’s difficult to know what you should focus on - should your first buy your roman helmet, or should you instead buy your Roman soldier shield before even considering armor? What about body armor, is that truly important? Or is it more important to think about roman leg armor? We’re here to help and point you in the right direction because we know exactly how intimidating it is putting together a costume from scratch. Here in the “Cassius” collection, you’ll find everything you need to hit the battlefield! What about Roman clothing?
