Gladiator Museum, Santa Maria Capua Vetere, Caserta, Campania, Italy, Europe
The Museo dei Gladiatori stands near the Campano Amphitheater in Santa Maria Capua Vetere. In the museum, the surviving elements of the decoration of the Campanian Amphitheater were presented to the public for the first time. It was inaugurated in 2003 and is divided into three rooms. In the first room, placed at the entrance, various inscriptions have been placed bearing dedications to the emperors Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, a model that reproduces the original structure of the Amphitheater and, at the top right, there are three of the arch keys that decorated the exterior of the monument: a male head with a Phrygian cap identified with Mitra or Attis, a female with a diadem (perhaps Giunone), a head of Minerva with an attic helmet and the cast of the Volturno, whose original is kept in the Museo Campano of Capua. In the second room, with an original layout that reproposes the steps of the auditorium, the decoration of one of the vomitoria (accesses to the cavea) was reconstructed in its entirety; on the bottom there is a relief with a procession of magistrates and lictors, depicted in the act of entering the amphitheater to occupy their seats. The side balustrades instead reproduce felines that bite the prey; other fragments of lateral balustrades depict animals that seem to run towards the arena: gazelles, bears, elephants, lions. Fragments of the frontal plutei are also placed on the walls of the same room. Among the represented themes stand out sacrifice scenes, a depiction of the amphitheater under construction and mythological scenes; in particular we note, on the right wall, the exploits of Hercules (cleaning the Augean, Hercules and Antaeus stables) and two fragments with the Dioscuri. To the right of the entrance is the punishment of Prometheus, the torture of Marsyas, Mars and Rhea Silvia, as well as a fragment with dancing Maenads and another with Apollo. To the left of the entrance one can also recognize a scene with towered deities, the construction of the amphitheater, the representation of a sacred enclosure, a scene of sacrifice for the dedication of the amphitheater. On the left wall, scenes of Centauromachy and Actaeon torn apart by dogs. The stylistic features of the reliefs, the choice of subjects and the way of treating them in response to a strongly classical taste indicate the Hadrian age as a period of execution of the sculptures. In the third room, to the left of the first, there is a mechanical representation of a gladiatorial fight.

Capua Roman Gladiator Museum Amphitheatre Italy
This is the museum of the gladiators by the amphitheatre at Santa Maria Capua Vetere, the site of ancient Capua, Italy. It was here that the gladiator Spartacus led the Servile War of 73 BC, celebrated in the Kirk Douglas movie though the building today belongs to after that date. He was then training at the gladiator's barracks, owned by Lentulus Batiatus. The amphitheatre is the second largest in the Roman world, but has suffered from a great deal of stone robbing. Some of the carved reliefs, including remarkable seat dividers in the form of wild animals, have been placed in here.

Capua: Mater Matuta Museum | Italia Slow Tour
The amphitheater of Capua looks like the Colosseum. This is the place where the insurgency of Spartaco began. We are in Capua. Here we can find the museum of Mater Matute. It's a museum full of statues, most of them represent the fertility. They were not this way, though. The tuff was coated, it was spackled and then painted. In this museum there are statues from the Etruscan period too. All of the statues in this museum represent a beautiful model that is not cool anymore, in fact the archeologists when they found these statues didn't want to expose them.
