Iron Gladiator Shoulder Guard

If, as a gladiator, you are going to protect something, it might as well be your neck and sword-arm, since losing either of those might cost you the match! This Iron Gladiator Shoulder Guard is big enough and hardy enough to protect both, in fair measure. Crafted entirely from a single piece of polished iron, this shoulder plate offers a fair measure of protection, indeed, allowing glancing blows to bounce off without inflicting so much as a nick or a scratch on your person. The shoulder guard wraps around the upper arm and shoulder and features flattened edges that flare out, giving the guard an overall square shape that provides a good deal of defense. It is held securely in place by leather straps, which wrap around the shoulder and core to keep the shoulder pauldron securely in place.
