Med sitt strategiska läge på Via Appia var det antika Capua en enormt viktig stad sedan den grundades på 500-talet f.Kr. Resan börjar vid Spartacus Arena, den antika amfiteatern i Capua. Denna amfiteater, som bara är större än Colosseum i Rom, är äldre, bättre bevarad och mindre välbesökt. Följ med din guide, en specialist på romersk arkeologi, till hemmet för det antika Roms gladiatorskola där den legendariske gladiatorn Spartacus gjorde sin våghalsiga flykt och startade sin revolt mot det romerska slaveriet.
När Spartacus lämnade armén såldes han som slav. Han beordrades att bege sig till Capua för att delta i gladiatorskolan, där han gjorde uppror mot förslavningen och lyckades rymma tillsammans med flera andra gladiatoraspiranter. Han blev ledare för den växande gruppen av förrymda slavar som var redo att kämpa för frihet och självständighet. Mot alla odds stod Spartacus och hans rebellarmé emot romarnas försök att övermanna dem och blev en symbol för motstånd mot förtryck.
När du utforskar amfiteaterns "hypogeum" eller underjordiska område kommer det att kännas som om du har ett backstage-pass till forna tiders gladiatoruppvisningar. De underjordiska områdena här är mycket bättre bevarade än de som finns i Colosseum i Rom, och du får exklusiv tillgång till ett område i amfiteatern som vanligtvis är stängt för allmänheten.
Du kommer sedan att besöka det som kallas "gladiatorernas rum", som är förbjudet för andra besökare. Rummet undersöks fortfarande och specialiserade arkeologer försöker fortfarande förstå rummets ursprungliga syfte. En upplevelse med förstärkt verklighet, som endast erbjuds National Geographic-resenärer, kommer att ge liv åt upplevelsen av att vara Spartacus för 2000 år sedan, komplett med rekonstruktioner av den ursprungliga amfiteatern ur både åskådarnas och gladiatorernas perspektiv. Kliv i Spartacus skor och känn pulsen i det antika Rom.
Efter rundturen kan du koppla av med en lunch tillagad på lokala ekologiska råvaror av ägare som är stolta över att bevara sina historiska omgivningar. Restaurangen är bekvämt belägen i utkanten av den arkeologiska utgrävningsplatsen.
