“I am Spartacus!”

Yes, I know it’s a meme, but it's been around since before memes even really existed—and I know that because I really love that movie. As much as I liked the classic film, I enjoyed the STARZ network television series even more.

Spartacus was one of those television shows that made me feel like a man. It had everything. It had a brave historical figure standing up for what’s right. It had killer combat scenes that made you feel like you were part of the action, even if you’re just cheering on Whitfield. It also had some of the most realistic effects and scenes I’ve seen in a long, long time. When the show was running, I made a point of watching every single episode as they came out. It was just that good of a show (The Ultimate Guide To Spartacus).

As you can imagine, I was pretty upset when the show ended. I wanted to feel close to that kind of action again, and when I found auctions featuring some merchandise signed by the Whitfield and others, I had to jump on it.

I’ve become a major collector of Spartacus merchandise, and it’s not always easy to find good gear featured in the show. Take a look at the coolest auction items I recently found.
