A quick look on the life of Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar is probably one the greatest generals to ever set foot in ancient Rome, if not the downright best there ever was.  As proof on how amazing this leader was, he actually held almost every single important tile that the Roman Republic had to offer back then.  He was consul, also known as tribune of the people, was a high commander of the army, and he even bore the title of high priest. He was a great general and was well skilled in army tactics and strategies.  Of course, he did very well in combat too.  Because of all of these great traits, he was even able to reorganize the army for the better.  But not all of his achievements had to do with warfare, battles, military, and the like.  He also came up with new laws that were almost always approved instantly by the senate and he also improved  the method of governing the provinces. Plus, not only did he win over the citizens but he also won over the heart of none other than the great Cleopatra as well.

Julius Caesar Plus Costume

This Hallows Eve, the title “Party King” can be yours in the Julius Caesar Plus Costume.

With this roman soldier costume on, you are sure to fight for your right to party in perfect ancient style.

The only problem was that Hercules was not really Roman. He was a hero that the Romans stole from previous civilizations, notably the Greek and Etruscan civilizations. The truth is that much of Roman mythology was adapted from these two past civilizations. But lets not quibble over mere details, you’re after a Halloween costume, no ? This Hercules costume is styled in the theme of a Roman soldier costume and should give you a unique look for the Halloween party. Here’s a bit more on this fine outfit.

The costume is pretty much as you see it in the picture. You get a white tunic that covers the torso and ends just above the knee. The tunic has short sleeves and slips on over the head. Over the tunic, you will wear the vinyl body armor. As you can see in the picture, this covers most of the tunic and makes you look like a soldier or warrior of some kind. In keeping with the warrior aspect, you also get arm bands, wrist cuffs and leg guards. These are made of the same material as the body armor.

The finishing touches to this costume are the cape and the headpiece. Again, the cape really makes it look like a ancient Rome type of costume an is in the imperial Red color that we associate with the Roman Empire . The headpiece is made of the same vinyl as the body armor and has the same design as the wrist cuffs and arm bands.

The sword and sandals do not come with the costume, nor does the wig. What he’s wearing a wig you say ? Yes it’s a pretty convincing look…not ! Anyhow, you could wear the wig or not bother. If you watched the Clash of the Titans movie recently, you would notice that the Perseus character has been updated or modernized a bit and this includes a more modern haircut. So why not give your Hercules as modern looking hairstyle at the Halloween party….go on I dare you. And before you start, I know clash of the Titans is about ancient Greece, but it the same thing…olden times, mythology, killing monsters, rescuing maidens, battling the gods etc.

Again, this Hercules costume would go down well at the Halloween party and is sure to get you a few admiring glances. Are you ready to accomplish the 12 labors of Hercules this Halloween ? Nothing about killing a Cretan Bull or anything like that…more chilled out, like making a good impression, having a few drinks, a spot of dancing, meeting a few babes. Sounds like my kind of feats of strength.

The toga is actually the outer garment in the “toga costume”. It consists of a square cloth that is draped over one shoulder and around the body. Under the Toga, a typical Roman citizen would wear a tunic. A tunic could be sleeveless or have short sleeves. It would slip over the head and had a hemline half way between the groin and knees.

The toga is identified with ancient Rome because only Roman citizens could wear a toga. It became a symbol of Rome and also a peaceful symbol as soldiers could or did not wear togas. This may have been a more practical motivation as a toga in a Roman soldier costume would probably make it harder to fight and make the wearer more clumsy.

In fact a Roman citizen at home would just wear a tunic as a toga would also get in the way of domestic duties or work in the fields and things like that.

However if a Roman citizen was receiving guests or having a party he would don the Toga. This also applied if he was going outside or into the town. So in ancient Rome, a toga was your going out, dress up smart gear.

A toga was worn by women during the Roman republic but this style fell out of fashion when the Republic was ruled by Caesars. Women started wearing Stola’s.

Toga’s also had ceremonial aspects to them. Senators and important officials of the empire would wear more elaborate togas as part of their duties. Citizens that came to forums were required to wear a toga too.

Caesars would also wear their own style of toga when on official duties.

Today, most people going to a toga party might simply get a bed sheet and form it into an over the shoulder drape. If you decide to get a more authentic looking Roman toga costume, get it from a costume shop or online costume store. These type of costumes generally come with a tunic and toga together. They may have extra accessories to make the whole ensemble stand out from all the other bed sheet costumes on show.

When people are looking for ancient Roman costumes fir the Halloween party or some other dress up occasion this is what they are thinking about. They are thinking of Caesar costumes and imagine being Julius Caesar (the first Caesar) or other famous emperors like Augustus, Claudius, Caligula or Nero. They may even think of Marc Antony who tried to become the supreme ruler of Rome, along with his lover Cleopatra.

Most of these sorts of costumes involve some form of tunic or toga outfit and a pair of sandals. It sounds pretty straightforward but if you want to stand out from the rest of the crowd, you really have to add a few extra touches to it.

After all, you are going as a Caesar. You want to look more important than the plebeians as befits your status as supreme ruler of the Roman empire. So don’t wear a plain old white toga or tunic. Go for something more regal or imperial – black and red are strong colors and symbolized Ancient Rome. So go for a red or black tunic. You also want some arm and leg gauntlets or jewelry to show you are important and maybe a laurel to wear around the head.

Other ancient Roman costumes might include Roman soldier costumes or gladiator costumes. Many of the films that we make of this time in history often deal with the fighting parts and the action. I guess it makes the history come a live a bit more and elevates the emotional tension for viewers. Consequently when we think of ancient roman costumes we think of gladiator outfits or soldier costumes.

These types of costumes are basically suits of armor, helmets and swords. People love to dress up in this sort of gear as it also gives them a chance to re-live their childhood, when they may have played sword fighting with their buddies or other sorts of role play.

We like to think of the times of the Roman and Greek civilizations as particularly brutal eras when there was lots a fighting and the major incidents that defined the time was a battle here or there or a bloody overthrow of a king or emperor. To some extent this is true. History only really remembers the decisive moments but if you think that the roman civilization lasted around 2000 years there must have been long periods when things were pretty cruisey. Nothing really happened and life just went on.

But seeing as it’s Halloween, we don’t want to remember those times, we want to remember the battles in the Coliseum where gladiators fight to the death. Or maybe we want to think of the Roman army taking on the Gauls or the Ancient Britons. Costumes reflecting this part of Roman history would look much better at a party or such like. I’m thinking or things like Roman soldier costumes, gladiator costumes or even Roman warrior costumes.

A Roman soldier costume would reflect the uniform worn by the Imperial Roman army. There were all sorts of units and ranks in the Roman army and consequently their outfits would look different.

The standard issue Roman infantry man costume is pretty hard to get unless you want to pay plenty of cash. Costume shops don’t go to that detail and the real armor would not be practical in a social setting.

So a typical roman soldier costume that you will find in a costume shop or online will have a tunic or toga undergarment and various pieces of molded plastic armor. It can look quite realistic from a distance (and even close up in some instances) but is easier to wear and more comfortable.

The roman warrior costume is probably another name for gladiator in fact. Gladiators could wear all manner of outfits. Again, this would depend on their location, who or what they were fighting and possibly even their status in the gladiator ranks.

Costumes in warmer climes might even be as simple as a loin cloth and some protective armor around the arms, legs and head. The premier gladiatorial contests held in the Coliseum in Rome might see the gladiators more well dressed or even dressed in a certain theme.

For instance, gladiator entertainment at the Coliseum would often recreate events and exploits from Roman history. Famous battle would be recreated involving the Roman army and some vanquished foe, like the Gauls or Britons. Gladiators might play the role of the Roman army and actual prisoners from these defeated nations might play themselves in a fight to the death.

We are all familiar with the Roman soldier costume and even Gladiators thanks to movies like Spartacus, Ben Hur and more recently Gladiator. The roman soldier and army was the backbone of the Roman Republic and later on the Empire. It was used to take over lands in western Europe, the middle east and northern Africa. The army was also used to enforce the law in sometimes lawless lands. When there was trouble in the outer colonies, the army would be sent to sort it out.

There are all sorts of Roman soldier costume available these days. Most aren’t very authentic looking but they give you an idea of what a roman soldier might look like. They are basically a helmet, a chest plate of armor, arm and leg gauntlets and some kind of tunic under the armor. Roman soldiers would often wear sandals in warmer climates but no doubt wore warmer footwear in places like ancient Britain and the link.

Other Roman costumes could be the Gods and Goddesses of Roman Civilization. The Roman civilization in the republican time and onwards until Christianity began to dominate, was polytheistic meaning that they believed in many gods and goddesses. Each god or goddess had a role and distinct characteristics. This polytheism was a flow over from the Ancient Greek civilization that also believed in many gods. In fact the Romans seem to have just taken all the Greek gods and changed their names. However their stories and their relationships to each other seem to be identical.

Other types of Roman costumes could be nobleman, senators or every day people (citizens) that might have lived in some part of the lands ruled by Rome. These types of costumes are basically just a tunic or toga outfit. Depending on the status of the individual, the tunic might be more elaborate and there might be more accessories to go with it. But other than that, it just a toga costume.

Check out today’s discount on the Senator costume here >>>

This Roman senator costume is similar to the Caligula costume in that it is a black full length robe or tunic with matching belt. It has gold trim around the hem and the arms. There is also a red shoulder sash to give the costume a bit more definition and color. Eating grapes is optional.

This is a simple costume that will convey that you are some dude from ancient history. Given that it is a black color and not the standard white, people will have an inkling that you are someone special from that time. You can tell them you are a Roman senator. But who were the famous Roman senators ?

Well, the most famous has to be Brutus. He was the main conspirator behind the assassination of Julius Caesar on the ides of March (mid March according to the Roman calendar). As already mentioned, senators didn’t like to ruin their expensive manicures so they often got other people to do the dirty work. However in the case of the death of Julius Caesar they were forced to act themselves.

Julius Caesar had basically installed himself as a dictator of Rome and chosen his name as the name to be used as supreme leader of the empire. This worried the senators that felt that he had too much power . He controlled the army and could pretty much do whatever he liked. This scared the senators that had been used to a more democratic way of making decisions. Thus they decided that Caesar had to die. They invited him to the senate and after a brief wait, they surrounded him and bludgeoned him to death.

Strangely enough the senate then issued an amnesty of all the killer, absolving them of the crime.  So if it’s not a Roman soldier costume this Halloween then why not go as an esteemed but ever so corrupted Roman senator.

This Roman empress costume includes a long white gown or dress with a attached drape in imperial Roman burgundy. Both the dress and the drape have gold trim to make them more distinctive from the average toga or Roman gown. The costume also comes with gold medallions and matching armbands.

Since the Roman empire lasted well over 1000 years there were many Empresses but in terms of history we tend to remember the first ones or those that did memorable things. Some were as political and scheming as their husbands. On of the most ruthless and manipulating Empresses was known as  Agrippina the younger. Her name changed as she got older and more influential.

Her brief resume runs as so. She was sister to the infamous Caligula who become mad and deranged with power. She married the Emperor Claudius, who was her paternal uncle (this might be frowned upon or even illegal nowadays but it wasn’t such a big deal in those days). She then used her influence over Claudius to get her son (who would become known as Nero – the guy that played the fiddle while Rome burned from legend) to become first in line to succeed Claudius. She was then implicated in poisoning Claudius.

Another notable roman Empress was the third wife of  the original Caesar (Julius Caesar). She was known as Calpurnia. She was believed to have had premonitions of Caesar’s death and begged him not to ‘go to work’ on the day that the senators got their knives out. In the aftermath of the death she sided with Marc Antony for control of Rome. This proved to be a poor judgment as he was defeated and killed.

Calpurnia has featured in many important pieces of literature, notably William Shakespeare’s play. This has ensured that her name ‘lives on’ and she is recognized as one of the more important Roman Empresses.

So why not go as Agrippina or Calpurnia to your next Halloween party. Team it up with the Caesar costume or some other Roman costume if you have a partner. You will look like the perfect couple.
