In Vienna, Austria a group of archeologists were digging and they came across a huge gladiator school. It even rivals the Ludus Magnus gladiator school right outside the Colosseum in Rome. It is about the size of two Walmarts (or if you are a fellow student, about half the size of Delta City in Belgrade,Serbia). This school has features that have not been seen on other places, even the Colosseum in Rome! There is also a cemetery for Gladiators on the school grounds, which is the first time this is ever seen. They are trying to reconstruct the school so people can look and see how it was back in the day. In Vienna it is located outside of the city close to the Danube River.
The image to the left shows what the archeological find used to look like, and if you look in the top right corner you can see the Danube. Finding this discovery will probably not change any of the facts we already know, or add to them, but it will supply archeologists with more evidence to back up the information we already have, and you can never have too much proof. This gladiator school was built about the same time as the famous one in Rome.
