During one scene, Satan is seen carrying a demonic child. Pretty sure the child was a muppet.

Roman armor replicas are available all over the web with varying degrees of accuracy although I don't know if any of it out there matches what was used in PotC. Posting some pictures of what you're looking for would help immensely, it helps a lot with the research with something to go off. I'd also check some of the Roman reenactor forums although they might only be of limited help since their resources and knowledge is geared towards the historically accurate stuff and not necessarily Hollywood costumes but for all I know the costumes in PotC might have been pretty historically accurate in which case reenactors forums would be very useful.

Ok, I just did a quick search for PotC Roman costumes and scratch what I said about checking the reenactor forums, they won't be of any help. The lorica segmentata (or seggy for short) are horribly inaccurate and look to be possibly leather which can be found online but is far less common than metal seggy. The helmets look better and resemble some replica helmets that I've seen but I don't think they're off the shelf and the replicas that most closely resemble them are pricey, a bit pricey to mod in my opinion.

:lol ahhh...umm.....ok...I've stopped laughing
. Yeah I think we stopped using midget publicly (because "little" people is less demeaning?)... I think Dwarf is good too, but to me a dwarf is only a dwarf if he has a battle axe and a fondness for fighting orcs..... :lol

It looks like they cheated immensely and went with a completely historically inaccurate leather seggies. For you to do this you're going to need to either get some leather to work with or cheat it and use some heavy vinyl/pleather and download and modify a seggy pattern from somewhere. I think I might have seen some leather armor sites selling leather seggies but I don't think that they match what was used in the movie and would take a bit of modification to match so you'd be better off making your own.
It shouldn't be too difficult to make your own leather seggy so long as you have something to cut the leather and cut nice straight lines. You'll also need a rivet gun that uses closed head (not sure if this is the right term) rivets and most of the rest of the hardware is something that you can probably find off the shelf at either you local home improvement store (ie Lowe's or Home Depot) or a craft store like Michael's or Aaron Brothers.
The helmet you can probably find online but I'm not sure if anyone makes one just like the ones in the movie. It looks like some form of Gallic style helmet, you could buy one of the cheapie trooper helmets that you online all over the place and mod it to match, just do a search for Roman helmet and you'll find tons of places that carry it for a range of prices.
The sword is just a gladius and you can probably get away with buying a Depeeka and modify it to match. You can get Depeekas all over the web from places like Museum Replicas and it shouldn't set you back more than $100 or so. To be historically accurate you should wear it on your right side unless you're trying to portray a Centurion, granted that the costumes are pretty historically inaccurate but it's something to think of.
Hope this helps.

Quick correction to my last post. The type of helmet you're looking for is not a Gallic but an Italic, it will have the correct shape and the cross bars across the top and some even have the house or A shape on the cheek pieces. However, the ones that I've seen online with the "house" on the cheek pieces would require a decent bit of modding to make screen accurate, you'd need to remove the decorations on the bowl of the helm and replace the "house" with a smaller one since the replicas that I've all have a much larger "house" that takes up nearly the entire cheek piece, and of course you'd change the color to more of a dark bronze color.
yes i know about the helmets lol (i used to be a roman reenactor so i have the real stuff) the helmet kinda stumped me till u said the itallic lol
