Italeri Gladiators

Art. No.: 510006062 Art. Description: 1:72 Gladiators This model is a representation of gladiators from Rome. The games were incredibly popular throughout the Roman world, and the highlight of the day's entertainment was when the gladiators came out to fight. This box aims to capture the excitement and drama of the gladiatorial games. Gladiators were usually categorized into several groups or specialties, which dictated their costumes and weapons. The figures in this set include members of all four main groups. Their clothing and armor, or lack thereof, align with what is known about the appearance of these men, and the weapons they carry are equally appropriate. The two men with the trident are Retiarius, while the others wear a large helmet, shield, and gladius, representing the Murmillones. The set also includes a chariot with four horses, a bear, and two lions for the games, depicting hunting scenes of wild animals.
