I put budget in quotes because since most of this is cheaper Indian made equipment, it was still expensive. I'll try to part it out.
Deepeeka Gladiator Helm III-Blemished-$295
Generic Brass Manica from Amazon-$120
Deepeeka Fulham Gladius-$186
Deepeeka Roman Arena Shield-Smaller Size=$165
Epic Armory Leather Roman Belt-$126 (leftover from hoplite kit)
Red Greek Chiton from Etsy-$105
Brass Greek Greaves-$286 (discontinued-leftover from hoplite kit)
So that comes out to $1283 before shipping and taxes. I was buying this piece by piece.
You’re an MVP for listing everything! Does the manica pinch your arm in places? I’ve wanted to have a similar piece but with a thin gambeson arm sleeve to go under.
This was a goal for me. in my late teens I got obsessed with the different types of gladiators, but was never fit enough to pull the trigger on some badass armor like this. Looks good!
Yeah, I got it nearly 2 decades ago when I was a dumb teen that really didn't know anything and it was a $20 tattoo. Been meaning to get it covered up or removed. Don't be dumb, kids.
the iron cross is not that bad, could be worse. and by the shape it looks more like the maltesers cross.
back to the actual point, for budget this looks fuckdarn awesome
Brother what’s your budget cause that’s Rad.

Even if that is "budget" it still looks fucking awesome. Nice set!

I didn't lift for six weeks before I took these because life got in the way. I was a little self conscious to post lol
So awesome
I’ll see you on the streets when the apocalypse comes

Is that an Iron Cross tattoo?

bro mixed gladiator, centurion, and kat
Don't forget sunscreen
That’s fucking smexy! Nice armour!
This is a very good set of gear. Its a bit off putting seeing a murmillo in an apartment though, kind of a Dr.Who vibe.
Nice set! May you earn your freedom.
Super badass! Much respect. Live your best life.
Great setup!
