===Gladiator school===
In September 2011 aerial photographs and ground-penetrating radar led to the discovery of the typical contours of an ancient Roman gladiator school to the south of the Roman settlement, a {{lang|la|[[ludus gladiatorius|ludus]]}} rivaling the [[Ludus Magnus|Ludus Magnus school]] and covering an area of some {{convert|3350|sqyd|ha}}.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nbcnews.com/id/44411139 |work=NBC News |agency=Associated Press |title=Unique Roman Gladiator School Unearthed |first=George |last=Jahn |access-date=2019-11-17 |archive-date=2024-04-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240409144203/https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna44411139 |url-status=dead }}</ref> This approach of aerial photography and modern remote sensing has allowed for a detailed virtual recreation of the gladiator school.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26359012 |title=Roman 'gladiator school' recreated |first=James |last=Morgan |date=26 February 2014 |access-date=27 December 2018 |website=Bbc.com |archive-date=27 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181227142308/https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26359012 |url-status=live }}</ref> The aerial photographs used in the recreation were acquired with a radio-controlled Microdrone md4-1000 quadrocopter, which captured a sufficient number of photographs to create an overlap among them. Then, using a technique called ''[[structure from motion]] (SfM)'', a 3D model of the school was calculated using the sharpest images.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.academia.edu/3791286 |website=Academia.edu |title=The Amphitheater of Carnuntum-Towards a complete 3D model using airborne structure from motion and dense image matching |access-date=2014-11-19 |archive-date=2023-10-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231012114049/https://www.academia.edu/3791286 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The school, along with the amphitheater, was located outside of the town's walls. The school had training grounds, bathing facilities, an assembly hall and dormitories for the gladiators. The school also had a courtyard which housed a training area for gladiators. The school was attached to an open campus which was most likely used for chariot races.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.academia.edu/3791251 |website=Academia.edu |title=The discovery of a gladiatorial school at Carnuntum |access-date=2014-11-17 |archive-date=2023-10-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231012115123/https://www.academia.edu/3791251 |url-status=live }}.</ref>
