Pair of Roman wristbands

The Roman wristbands are a pair of wide, dark brown wristbands with gold-coloured rivets along the top and bottom edges, designed for a Roman costume. They complement the image of a legionary or gladiator from ancient Rome, with bare arms and a red cape over the shoulders. Wear them at Carnival or at a Roman-themed party, with a toga or a short tunic.

Wristbands of the Roman warrior

Wide wristbands are part of the well-known image of Roman soldiers and gladiators in films and comics. Such a band around the wrist emphasises the forearm and creates a combative silhouette. Their dark brown colour and metal rivets make these wristbands reminiscent of leather arm guards from that era.

Should you wear these Roman wristbands on bare skin or over a sleeve?

The wristbands look best on bare forearms, as with a short tunic or a sleeveless cape. Combine them with other brown and gold-coloured accessories, such as sandals with ribbons, a belt or a helmet, so that the gold of the rivets is reflected throughout your outfit. A stubble beard or some brown face paint on the arms creates a weathered warrior look, while a gold necklace is better suited to a wealthy Roman.

Order the wristbands and complete your Roman soldier or gladiator costume for Carnival.
