Spartacus was here .... Capua

A delightful sunny Gaeta with views across the bay and warmth in the air. A lot of history packed into this compact city jutting out into the Med.

Along the coast near Formia the site of Cicero's mausoleum at an elevated point on the Roman Via Appia. The great Roman Orator murdered near here.

Stretches of uphill and overlapping with the Via Francigena del Sud before a long flat section into the famous stage of gladiator training, Capua. The story is well known (thanks to Kirk Douglas) and my journey from this special place will depart from the Via Appia towards Napoli on the Roman Via Popilia.
