Boy Halloween Costumes
In 2010, a movie titled "Centurion" was released, a decent enough movie with plenty of activity and great historical looking costumes. Because of the movie, other great batch of astonishing strong looking Roman Centurion Costumes for boys and adults have been released, anticipating great ideas for the advent Halloween.
Who Were The Centurions
Instead of the normal, but great looking Roman costumes, been a Centurion is a slight bit different. First, the Centurion was a pro commander of a group of up to 80 Roman soldiers. Only the best Centurion would climb the ranks and be promoted to the first legion called the Primi Ordines which consisted of an army of 10 legions.
The best fact about the Centurion is that they all the time fought beside their men, ordinarily charging at the front to inspire their men. To even be a centurion you had to be literate, at least 30, very strong, big in built and highly skillful.
As a Centurion, your weaponry all the time consisted of a helmet, dagger, javelin sword, shield and Armour. All these accessories make for an excellent costume idea. Been a Centurion is much more a great role than just been a Roman soldier.
The amount of costume ideas with these are endless. Even as a centurion, you may be demoted or captured and imprisoned, turning you into a Gladiator, which again, and especially for young boys, make some savage exciting costumes, especially when a sword and shield are waved in the air and your friends are togged out in same theme, ah! the memories.
Even dressed as an adult as a Centurion, Gladiator or Roman, has some great perks, you look strong, tough and sexy, just look at what the costume did for Russel Crowe. And with all the remarkable accessories that you can get for these costumes to make it unique, the fun will be endless.
