This is my complete screen used Spartan hoplite warrior costume from the 2006 Warner Brothers’ movie, 300, based on the graphic novel of the same name by Frank Miller. The costume is one of approximately 15 costumes released by Warner Brothers to the public via PropStore. 10 of the costumes came complete with sword, while the remaining 5 lacked a sword. This costume includes a fiberglass helmet, vacuum-formed shield, rubberized vambraces and greaves, wooden spear, rubberized sword, leather briefs and sandals, and of course the iconic red cape.
While there is no question of this costume's authenticity, it is nice to see that the shield and helmet can be matched to the film.
