Dit kun je verwachten

Dankzij een strategische ligging aan de Via Appia was het oude Capua sinds zijn ontstaan in de 5e eeuw voor Christus een enorm belangrijke stad. Onze ontdekkingstocht begint bij de Arena van Spartacus, het oude amfitheater in Capua dat in grootte alleen onderdoet voor het Colosseum in Rome. Samen met je gids die gespecialiseerd is in archeologie verken je deze site: de plek waar zich de gladiatorenschool van het oude Rome bevond en waar de legendarische gladiator Spartacus zijn dappere ontsnapping maakte en zijn opstand tegen de Romeinse slavernij ontketende.

Nadat hij het leger verliet werd Spartacus als slaaf verkocht. En hij werd verplicht om zich bij de gladiatorenschool in Capua aan te sluiten. Hier kwam hij in opstand tegen zijn slavernij en wist hij samen met een aantal andere gladiatoren in opleiding te ontsnappen. Hij werd de leider van de groeiende groep ontsnapte slaven die bereid waren om te vechten voor hun vrijheid en autonomie. Tegen alle verwachtingen in, weerstonden Spartacus en zijn rebellenleger de pogingen van het Romeinse leger om hen te overmeesteren. En zo werden ze een symbool van verzet tegen onderdrukking.

Als je het 'hypogeum' of ondergrondse complex van het amfitheater verkent, krijg je het gevoel dat je een backstagepas hebt voor de gladiatorenshows die hier hebben plaatsgevonden. De ruimtes hier zijn veel beter bewaard gebleven dan die van het Colosseum van Rome. Daarna bezoek je wat bekend staat als de 'gladiatorenkamer', verboden terrein voor andere bezoekers. Er wordt nog steeds onderzoek naar gedaan en gespecialiseerde archeologen doen hun best om het oorspronkelijke doel van de kamer te achterhalen.

Met behulp van Augmented Reality, exclusief voor National Geographic reizigers, kruip je in de huid van Spartacus 2000 jaar geleden. Je ervaart reconstructies van het oorspronkelijke amfitheater vanuit het perspectief van zowel de toeschouwers als de gladiatoren. Je stapt in de voetsporen van Spartacus en proeft de sfeer van het oude Rome.

Na je tour schuif je aan voor een lunch met lokale biologische producten die met liefde is bereid door de eigenaars die trots zijn op het behoud van hun historische omgeving. Het restaurant ligt aan de rand van de archeologische site.

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.
