NOW OR LAETA

Laeta (Anna Hutchison) went from a Roman noble to slave (rescued by Gannicus) to rebel in a short period, proving herself to be as heroic as she was compassionate. VIP Fan Auctions is now offering to the winning bidder a collection of remarkable artifacts from this critical character in the Spartacus legacy. It includes the gown worn on-screen (pictured above) by Anna Hutchison during the final five episodes of Spartacus: War of the Damned, as well as her cloak, sandals and bracelet that complete the wardrobe. Click here for additional photos of the custom-tailored gown and accessories – and get in on the bidding today.

THE GREAT THRACE

The homeland of Spartacus, Thrace is a land of small villages and great warriors. It is also responsible for some of the most distinctive armor ever worn in battle – and VIP Fan Auctions is offering a Thracian helmet worn on-screen in the series premiere of Spartacus to the fan who places the winning bid. Custom-made by the Spartacus props department for use in production, the helmet is gold in color with a plume and distressed to look authentically ancient and battle tested.

IN THE BEGINNING

Lucy Lawless is a commanding presence, and the moment she appeared on-screen in the premiere episode of Spartacus as the legendary Lucretia of ancient Rome, it became clear that she was meant to play the chaotic role. As Lucretia, the actress demonstrated cunning, manipulation and insanity as a gods-fearing-yet-murderous villainess. Lucretia’s stunning wardrobe befitted a woman trying desperately to climb the social ladder, however, and a gown she wore in the series premiere of Spartacus: Blood and Sand (pictured above) is now available to the winning bidder at VIP Fan Auctions. Designed specifically for the former warrior princess by the Spartacus wardrobe department, the gown is a true original – but place your bid now because the auction ends soon.
