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.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Spartacus' World at Ancient Capua
Boasting a strategic location on the Via Appia, Ancient Capua was a hugely important city since its foundation in the 5th century BCE. Your journey begins at the Arena of Spartacus, the ancient amphitheater in Capua. Second in size only to Rome's Colosseum, this amphitheater is older, better preserved, and less crowded. Join your guide, a specialist in Roman archaeology, to tour the home of the Gladiator school of Ancient Rome where the legendary gladiator Spartacus made his daring escape and ignited his revolt against Roman slavery.Upon leaving the army, Spartacus was sold into slavery. He was ordered to go to Capua to enroll in Gladiator training school, where he rebelled against his enslavement and managed to escape alongside several other trainee gladiators. He became the leader of the growing group of escaped slaves who were ready to fight for freedom and autonomy. Against the odds, Spartacus and his rebel army resisted Roman attempts to overpower them, becoming a symbol of resistance against oppression.As you explore the amphitheater's ‘hypogeum' or underground area, you'll feel like you have a backstage pass to the gladiator shows of days past. The areas here are far better preserved than those found at the Colosseum of Rome. You'll then visit what is known as the 'gladiator's room,' off limits to other visitors. Still being studied, specialist archeologists are still trying to understand the room's original purpose.An augmented reality experience, exclusive to National Geographic travelers, will bring to life the experience of being Spartacus 2000 years ago, complete with reconstructions of the original amphitheater from the perspective of both the spectators and the gladiators. Step into the shoes of Spartacus, and feel the pulse of Ancient Rome.After your tour, relax over a lunch lovingly prepared with local organic produce by owners who take pride in maintaining their historic surroundings. The restaurant is conveniently located on the perimeter of the archeological site.
