    We were lucky enough to visit the Capua amphitheatre in 2015. So incredibly well preserved and with only a handful of visitors while we were there. An awesome experience. Keep up the good work Darius .

    When I saw the Diane and Acteon relief, it makes me think of cathedrals and their vitrails. Then, it makes sense, Roman portrayed their myth. It just a loss that those reielf are in pieces! The amphitheater must have been gorgeous! I love that remain but it must have been beautiful and spectacular when it was complete!

    I very much enjoy your visiting these Roman ruins that are little known to the average person.
    What is left of the amphitheater looks great. It appears that a lot of Roman concrete was used in the construction.

    • @AncientRomeLive

      Yes a lot of Roman concrete. But the exterior, of stone, is quite exquisite. As well as the marble decorations for seating and balustrades.

    Fabulous information, Darius. I would like to visit that amphitheater to compare it to the Colosseum in Rome. I'm hopeful that my modest monthly donation helps.

      We thank you for your support. Any amount helps, and you are generous also with your comment. Capua is an amazing city- also the city museum. Exploring the amphitheater - and its small museum - is a real treat and gives you aspects and art not preserved in the Colosseum.

    Good afternoon, I would like to know if Spartacus really fought in this arena, some say he didn't fight there in the capua arena, but I believe he fought there and then rebelled, now I don't know if it was in this arena or in the ludus, what do you tell me? @ancient Rome Live

    I have fallen in love with this city even though I have never been there. But it's history, before Spartacus, his legacy and then afterwards. And the city is still there thriving today. Wow. The city of marshes and around since roughly 600bce. Etruscans. under Hannibal and then Rome. So vividly portrayed in the TV series Spartacus. My only question is whatever happened to Sinuessa en Valle? It was also on or near the via Appia.

    One of the reasons I don't like the middle age, is because of how many great Imperial structures were looted and destroyed during that time. These people took over great infrastructure and just.. demolished it. Need bricks for your shit mudhouse? Let's go take it from the amphitheatre! Once can only imagine how these structures must have looked in their prime.

    When I was there no one knew about Spartacus. I was very disappointed. Capua should build a giant statue of Spartacus like Leonidas of Sparta.

      Not a bad idea. The locals are very proud of their link to Spartacus.
