You know how when you rewatch something without paying attention to the plot, you notice a lot of extra stuff happening in the background? Well, I've done that with Spartacus Vengeance and I've developed a theory. The theory is this: Gannicus is, in fact, a jedi.

Stephen DeKnight admitted himself that Star Wars was part of his inspiration for creating the character of Gannicus, whom he describes as a combination of Han Solo and Achilles. And while Han Solo did not have the mastery over the force, Gannicus clearly does.

In conclusion, when Gannicus said he was "many years from Capua" he must have meant "many light years". ;-)
