VIENNA (AP) — Archeologists say they have located and excavated the ruins of a massive amphitheater used to train gladiators east of Vienna in what they call a "sensational discovery."
They say that the ruins located through ground radar measurements rival the Colosseum and the Ludus Magnus in Rome in their structure. The Ludus Magnus is the largest of the gladiatorial arenas in the Italian capital, while the Colosseum is the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire.
A statement Tuesday from the Carnuntum archaeological park gave no details when the find was located and excavated. It said the site will be presented to the media Monday.
The park — part of a former Roman settlement — is about 60 kilometers (35 miles) east of Vienna.[/quote]

Let's have a roman dinner-orgy.
First you eat until you have to to the pukeroom, then come back to eat and puke again, afterwards everyone complies in the massive orgy (some people might still be puking)

Many gladiators in Ancient Rome didn't actually fight to the death. Buying and then training and then equipping them all was very expensive, so to the death was usually only done on holidays and special celebrations.
Though, they did occasionally throw in those to be executed for gladiators to "play with" then kill.

You know the puking thing has been confirmed to be an urban legend, right?
Wow, this is amazing. Great find for the archeologist.

God damn it, now I'm seeing it.
I would be saying "I'm Spartacus!" if I was there
I don't understand why they don't just rebuild these ancient buildings and use them today. Imagine how cool it would be to see a play at the Colloseum.
