Santa Maria Capua Vetere Gladiator Museum

The museum displays an extensive collection of Roman artifacts, including weapons, armor, and architectural elements recovered from the adjacent amphitheater complex.

The museum occupies a site near one of the largest Roman amphitheaters, where gladiators trained and fought during the height of the Roman Empire.

Exhibits showcase detailed reconstructions of gladiatorial combat techniques, different fighter classes, and the social structure of ancient Roman entertainment.

Located at Piazza I Ottobre 36, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM until one hour before sunset, with tickets priced at 2.50 euros.

Original keystones and statue heads that decorated the amphitheater arches are exhibited alongside reconstructions of the arena's tiered seating arrangements.
