We have
a wide selection of Roman clothing. Our brightly colored Roman tunic copies
the standard issue to the Roman legions from the days of the Republic to the
end of the Empire. Worn under Roman armor or by itself, the simple lines of
this tunic are classic and lend themselves to many combinations of clothing
from later periods of history. Romans took the color from the Spartan's red
cloaks as later did the English army. Spartans wore red so that their
enemies would never see them bleed.

Our authentic Roman style Shields have
been featured in HBO's Production - Rome. These full size functional Roman
shields feature elaborate designs. Each Roman shield is stoutly constructed
of stained plywood (ancient shields were frequently made by glueing planks
together).
Roman shields were used by the Roman
Army to deflect missiles targeted at the soldiers, as well as protect them
from the impact of hand held weapons yielded at them. |

The Roman Legion wore roman sandals
for the long march during the roman campaign. The hobnails on the bottom of
the roman sandals kept the sole from wearing out too quickly. Our roman
sandals come in a variety of sizes and are the perfect accessory to your
Roman outfit. |

|
Our
Roman Daggers also called the Pugio, replicate originals that have survived
in remarkably good condition in a European museum.
The
distinct shape of the Pugio blade was excellent for a close quarters
fighting, and was used throughout the legions. Roman daggers were a basic
part of the roman army. When they were in close formation and the sword or
spear could not be used, the Roman dagger was the next weapon of choice. |
 |
We have a large variety of
leather roman belts that are sure to be a great addition to your
roman outfit. Our roman belts are authentic looking for that re-enactment or
theater production. We have several styles of roman belts such as the
Gladiator belt, Roman soldier's belt, and the regular roman belt. All
our roman belts are handcraft and made with quality leather.

Roman Weapons
Our Roman weapons consist of various
pilums. The Pilum had a long, relatively soft iron shaft which, though
certainly capable of penetrating its intended target, was likely to bend on
striking armor or the ground, thus making it useless to be thrown back. A
common tactic when using the Pilum against troops with shields was to pierce
the opponent’s shield, whereupon the shaft would bend, making extraction
difficult. The opposing soldier, thus encumbered, was likely to throw down
his shield, losing his defense against the infamous Roman short sword. |
