We visited Capua ruins on two separate trips, once with friends and once with Matt.  Located about 20 minutes from our house, “The Amphitheatre of Capua was a Roman amphitheatre in the city of Capua (modern Santa Maria Capua Vetere), second only to the Colosseum in size and probably the model for it. It may have been the first amphitheatre to be built by the Romans, and was the location of the first and most famous gladiator school. The amphitheatre was the location of the outbreak of the revolt of Spartacus in 73 BC, which threatened the city of Rome for two years in the period immediately preceding the First Triumvirate” (from Wikipedia). We went under ground to explore the ruins from below, which was pretty cool.  The last photo is a statue located in a park in the town of Capua.
