Ancient gladiatorial schools
#2
Ave Civitas,

Still looking for information on gladiatorial schools.

The wikipedia article:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ro...hitheatres
Shows a map with the locations of amphitheatres.  It states more than 230, I didn't count them.

It does not show an arena in Constantinopolis.  However, I looked at a map of that city produced by the university in Thessalonika (which URL I cannot find anymore).  It shows an amphitheatrum near Hagia Irene, south of the forum of Leo I.

Then this article: http://www.tribunesandtriumphs.org/gladi...chools.htm
Estimates that there were over 100 gladiators schools in the Roman Empire.  It lists only those schools in Rome;  There were 4 gladiator schools in Rome:  
1. The Great Gladiatorial Training School (Ludus Magnus)
2. The Bestiaries School (Ludus matutinus)
3. The Gallic School (Ludus Gallicus)
4. The Dacian School (Ludus Dacicus)
However, it does not provide locations of the other 96.
