Recently archeologists discovered what they think is a gladiator training school outside of Vienna, Austria near the ruins of a huge amphitheater.  This is the largest known gladiator school found so far in the Roman empire.  Archeologists found this site by using a tractor with special radar equipment.  The site hasn't been dug on yet but researchers are sure exists based on the findings.  They also found what appears to be a gladiator cemetery on the grounds that they have begun to excavate.  Hopefully they will be able to further explore this site some day to learn more about how people lived there.
