These Givenchy Gold Gladiators (try saying that fast three times) are something else. I suspect even Romans would sigh over them in ecstasy, “O, quam pulcher est et decorus!” Roughly translated, how beautiful! However, I suspect only the upper classes (and definitly not the gladiators themselves!) could afford the price tag: just under $1000 in select boutiques such as the famous Lane Crawford stores in Hong Kong.
