MONTEGRAPPA Italian Idol Gladiator Limited Editon Fountain Pen

Fight well, or else die well: such were the choices that faced the gladiators of Ancient Rome. Trained to become perfect fighting machines, their ranks included slaves, prisoners and freedmen in search of fame. Gladiator is part writing instrument, part working miniature, with obsessive craftsmanship that honours a class of combatants immortalised by the phrase, “What we do in life echoes in eternity.” Since their public premiere in 105 BCE, the heroes of Rome’s Gladiator Games have been entrenched in legend. Lavish, interactive editions of 105 fountain pens in silver and five in gold salute their bravery. Elite gladiators wore high-quality, decorative armour for the pompa, the pre-Games parade. Glorious accents detail Mars, Medusa and Rome’s imperial eagle on a combatant equipped with a Gladius sword. Armed with mechanical, action-figure functionality, Gladiator’s beating heart is Power-Push: a revolutionary charging mechanism delivering incisive, pump-action filling. Are you not entertained?
