In 2011, using only non-invasive methods, an unusual discovery was made in Carnutum (present-day Austria) – the school of gladiators<\/a> was discovered.<\/p>\n

Stretching between the present-day villages of Petronell-Carnuntum and Bad Deutsch-Altenburg, the Roman city of Carnutum<\/em> (in northeastern Austria) is one of the largest surviving “archaeological parks” in Europe.<\/p>\n

Wolfgang Neubauer, director of the “Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archeology” (LBI ArchPro), has spent the past two decades researching the city with his team using non-invasive methods.<\/p>\n

As Neubauer stated, no one has made such discoveries before using GPR and aerial photography. In September 2011, radar discovered a forum, barracks, a series of shops, halls and a large gladiator school complex, which is the most complex structure of this type after its counterparts in Rome and Pompeii<\/a>. In total, an area of \u200b\u200b0,280 hectares was surveyed.<\/p>\n

The radar revealed that Ludus Magnus<\/em> had two levels of collonaded galleries that enclosed a courtyard. The central object of the square was a round structure, which, according to scientists, served as a training room, surrounded by a wooden auditorium, attached to a stone foundation.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that there could be 75 gladiators at the school at the same time. The sleeping quarters varied in size; some were large and probably belonged to lanista (owner), instructors or senior gladiators. The smallest and without a window were probably assigned to the most unruly warriors.<\/p>\n

In the northern wing of the complex, there was a bathhouse with central heating<\/a>. There was an open space next to the school where chariot races<\/a> must have been held.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36625,"template":"","class_list":["post-110902","odkrycia-rzymskie","type-odkrycia-rzymskie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/110902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/110902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
