Yet More Spartacus Auctions!

VIP Fan Clubs continues to list more and more awesome props and costumes from Spartacus for auction!

Here are two stunning gowns worn by Lucy Lawless as Lucretia and Viva Bianca as Ilythia.

This is a full set of Roman armour worn by Jared Turner as Furius.  There is also a separate auction for some stunt elements of the costume.

Here is a Roman helmet worn by Craig Parker as Glaber.  I love the detail of the spider!

Here is an iconic mask used in Gods of the Arena.

I really like these unique props.  The wax tablet was used by Simon Merrells as Crassus and the vexilla regis (banner) was made for John Wraight as Cossinius.

This is a costume worn by Nick Tarabay as Ashur.

Here is an amazingly detailed costume worn by Daniel Feuerriegel as Agron.  The costumers must have had a lot of fun putting together the various textures and pieces.

Here's another incredibly detailed ensemble worn by Dustin Clare as Gannicus.  The little splashes of colour are terrific.  They really make the costume "pop" on screen.

Finally, here's a great costume worn by Manu Bennett as Crixus.

More Spartacus Auction Items

VIP Fan Clubs continues their eBay auctions of costumes and props used on Spartacus.  Here are some highlights from this week.

First up is a beautiful gown worn by Lucy Lawless as Lucretia.

This is a bracelet worn by Tom Hobbs as Seppius in season two.  It is made of plastic and then electroplated to appear metal.

This jewelry and gown were worn by Viva Bianca as Ilythia.  The attention to detail is amazing!

This beautiful costume was worn by Craig Walsh-Wrightson as Solonius.  It must have been a pleasure to wear pieces like this.

Here are two gladiatorial shields used by Nick Tarabay as Ashur and Manu Bennett as Crixus.

And now, the two most impressive lots...

First, a costume worn by Peter Mensah as Oenomaus.

And, finally, a hero costume worn by Liam McIntyre as Spartacus.

Spartacus Props at Auction

With three days left until the premiere of Spartacus: War of the Damned, VIP Fan Auctions has been listing various Spartacus props and costumes on eBay.  Here are some highlights from the props listed this week.

This is a very distressed rubber sword used by Manu Bennett as Crixus in arena scenes.

Here is a sword used by Reuden de Jong as Theokoles.  The auction listing says it's made of rigid foam.  They apparently received four of them from the art department.

This is a set of trademark daggers used by Dustin Clare as Gannicus.  They are made of rubber.

My favourite item from this week is this commemorative clay tile like the one used by Nick Tarabay in the episode "Revelations."

Profiles in History Hollywood Auction 44

Profiles in History is gearing up for their 44th Hollywood Auction which takes place May 14-15, 2011.  There are several items in the auction which might be of interest to readers of this blog.

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.
