Capua is a city and comune in the province of Caserta, Campania, southern Italy, situated 25 km (16 mi) north of Naples, on the northeastern edge of the Campanian plain. Ancient Capua was situated where Santa Maria Capua Vetere is now.
The name of Capua comes from the Etruscan Capeva. The meaning is 'City of Marshes'. Its foundation is attributed by Cato the Elder to the Etruscans, and the date given as about 260 years before it was "taken" by Rome. If this is true it refers not to its capture in the Second Punic War (211 BC) but to its submission to Rome in 338 BC, placing the date of foundation at about 600 BC, while Etruscan power was at its highest. In the area several settlements of the Villanovian civilization were present in prehistoric times, and these were probably enlarged by the Oscans and subsequently by the Etruscans.
Etruscan supremacy in Campania came to an end with the Samnite invasion in the latter half of the 5th century BC.
About 424 BC it was captured by the Samnites and in 343 BC besought Roman help against its conquerors. Capua entered into alliance with Rome for protection against the Samnite mountain tribes, along with its dependent communities Casilinum, Calatia, Atella, so that the greater part of Campania now fell under Roman supremacy. The citizens of Capua received the civitas sine suffragio (citizenship without the vote).

Genres: ,This is 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 and was probably erected in the early to mid 1st century AD. At 170 by 139 metres the amphitheatre is the second largest in the Roman world, but has suffered from a great deal of stone robbing.

Capua is under siege from the Samnites! A small group of Roman soldiers must save the city! Tried to explain tactics in this video but am not the best player, so if you know good tactics, write them in the comments to help!
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.
A short documentary about what it might have been like at an amphitheatre when gladiator games were being held.
Csataterek - 5. rész: Capua -- Nápolyi csata, 1348 Miután jogainak érvényesítésére minden diplomáciai lehetőséget kihasznált, I. Lajos király megindította a háborús előkészületeket, majd 1347 novemberében indult meg Nápolyba, mintegy 10 000 fős kíséretének élén. Felvonulása közben a kisebb-nagyobb városállamok tisztelettel és rokonszenvvel fogadták. 1348. január 11-én Lajos seregei Capua városánál tönkreverték a Tarantói Lajos, Johanna új férje által vezetett nápolyi seregeket. A capuai összeomlás után Johanna és családja hajón provence-i grófságába menekült, a Nápolyi Királyság pedig minden további áldozat nélkül Lajos hatalmába került.

You want a house and a child but you don't want a man.
You'll live off the state as long as you can.
Claim you're equal with your feminist wit.
If you are you'd better act like it.
With a glass plate in your stomach,
everyone will look at you
The only woman in the world,
to have a womb with a view
Men are the evil, women are good.
You joined the CND just like you should.
Greenham Common the new Babylon.
Campaign all you want they'll still drop the bomb.
Burn your bra then whine for support.
Independence is a thing that can't be taught.
Live was busy for the little girl.
