Our expert's notes

A Praetorian Guard costume from Ridley Scott's Oscar®-winning action epic Gladiator. The Praetorians were the loyal bodyguard of Roman emperors Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) and Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), offering personal protection on the battlefield of Germania and in the Colosseum.

The costume is composed of trousers and tunic made of purple wool, over which is worn a pair of leather boots, a set of plastic 'lorica segmentata' (segmented cuirass) body armour, a leather skirt with plastic armour plating, plastic greaves and bracers, a fibreglass helmet with plastic cheek plates, and an eagle crest and purple wool cape. The armour is finished in black, with leather strapping to secure the armour to the wearer. The bracers are marked 'Cornejo' within, and a Cornejo costumier label is present in one of the greaves. The costume still has sand in it from its use in the arena sequences, with some scratches to the plates and helmet from use.

Estimate: £1500 - £2000
