Passport to Ancient Rome and Greece

By Sarah Rosenblum

When you put on a Greek or Roman Costume from wondercostumes.com, you’re instantly transported back to a time and place that seems to have everyone endlessly fascinated. It’s fun to imagine life in that era, but why?

Could it be their extravagant meals? Dinner time was quite the social event. Just imagine you and all your friends lying down comfortably sideways and being fed by your servants. Bountiful fish, breads, cheeses, dried fruits, and wine sound good? You’ll be living the good life, my friend!

Maybe you’re drawn to the aesthetically pleasing marble and sometimes mosaic decorated vaulted ceilings, columns, and arches seen throughout the architectural designs of public baths, basilicas, aqueducts and other buildings and structures.

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to go to a coliseum and watch a real-life Gladiator Fight or Chariot Race? Just imagine watching football or an MMA Fight in an adrenaline-pumped crowd of spectators but with the clanking metal of foot-long swords, tridents, and hammers.

And who needs pants, right? It’s all about the toga, baby! Surely you’ve been to at least one Toga Party, but did you know that different designs and colors were donned by people of certain social stature? Togas with purple borders were often worn by senators and consuls of high rank.

If we could travel in time, I bet I know what era would be a top destination! No wonder countless movies set in Ancient Greece and Rome, like 300, Pompeii, and Gladiator continuously prove to be top box office hits.

Whether you choose to portray a Greek Goddess and transform into an emblem of Roman Mythology or to show off your strength in a stylish Warrior Costume, our selection of Roman and Greek Costumes is sure to give you the experience you seek.
