First, lot 1278 is a sword used by Brad Pitt as Achilles in Troy. This is a unique prop because it features a retractable blade for action scenes.
Next, there are several wonderful and rare items from Cleopatra which seem to be in wonderful shape given their age. There is a statue of a golden calf from the elaborate sets, one of Richard Burton's original Mark Antony costumes and a stunning piece of poster art by Howard Terpning.
There's also a very neat miniature ship from Antony's fleet.
The tragic loss of Elizabeth Taylor earlier this year will likely cause a spike in the prices realized for Cleopatra-related items.
