Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Vatia[1] (also called Lentulus Batiatus by Plutarch)[2] was the Roman owner of a gladiatorial school in ancient Capua. It was from this school that, in 73 BC, the Thracian slave Spartacus and about 70 to 78 followers escaped. The breakout led to the slave rebellion known as the Third Servile War (73–71 BC).[3]
