Gladiator Museum

Rome's Gladiator Museum is not far from the Colosseum itself and is a place to get up and close to the armor and weaponry made famous by these fighting men (and women).
Get to know the masks, helmets, armor, and weapons, used by gladiators and military of ancient times. You'll also have the chance to learn about how they made and maintained the tools of their trade, at this centrally located museum.
If you don't end up having a mock sword fight at the end, you probably didn't do it right.
