What's in the Box

• Tunic with attached cape, arm cuffs and leg cuffs

This Kids Roman Soldier Costume brings ancient warrior energy to Book Week, history presentations, and dress-up play. The knee-length tunic features printed armor detailing across the chest and hem — scrollwork, studs, and a cross-body strap — all in metallic gold against the charcoal base.

The attached red cape drapes from the shoulders for that classic centurion silhouette. Arm and leg cuffs slip on to complete the warrior look, with gold borders that match the tunic's ornate trim. Scalloped hem edge and short sleeves keep it comfortable for active play. Pair with brown sandals and you're ready for the Colosseum.

Perfect For

Book Week & Mythology Days: Natural choice for Percy Jackson fans, Greek mythology units, or any ancient history-themed Book Week parade — young Hercules, Perseus, Roman soldier, or brave Spartan warrior.

School History Projects: Stands out at ancient civilisation presentations, Roman Empire dress-up days, or kindy character parades where your child is learning about gladiators and emperors.

Costume Parties & Play: Works for Halloween (warrior from ancient times), themed birthday parties, or backyard adventures where every afternoon needs a hero from antiquity.

How to Wear It

Pair with brown or tan sandals (not included) and you've nailed the classical look. Skip modern sneakers — the sandal silhouette is half the costume. For colder days, layer a long-sleeve black shirt underneath; the tunic's short sleeves sit over the top.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and height measurements. The tunic is a relaxed fit; if your child is between sizes and prefers a longer tunic (more coverage), size up.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

Yes — the tunic slips on over a t-shirt and shorts. The arm and leg cuffs are elasticized, so they fit over most clothing without being too tight.

How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?

Hand wash in cold water and line dry to protect the metallic gold print. The polyester fabric holds up well to play, but the printed detailing lasts longer without machine tumbling.

Is this suitable for a Roman Empire school project?

Absolutely. It's a go-to for ancient Rome or Greece history days, mythology presentations, and any classroom moment where your child needs to step into the sandals of a centurion or gladiator.

Care: Hand wash cold, line dry. Avoid tumble dryer to protect gold print.
