Wow, this is splendid! I knew, theoretically, that the bland ruins we see today were coloured and highly decorated, but seeing it here makes such a difference. Thank you for giving us this insight.
Your reconstructions of the interiors of important Roman buildings are really beautiful and detailed, my favorite interior is the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine. 😁
I hope you'll consider a version of this with some insights into how the reconstruction was done! Sources and inspirations (and history?) would be so fascinating
The glory and splendor that was ancient Rome reflected the inspired creativity and creative energy of the Romans, which is unique in its time and place. We owe much of modern western culture and ways to the Romans, though few of us realize just how deep the connection runs and for how long into the past. Perhaps the most telling lesson their experience should teach us is that, no matter how magnificent a culture may be, if it allows corruption to fester in its soul, it will sooner or later die off or be defeated by enemies more vigorous and determined to take power for their own purposes and enjoyment. Kudos on the series, excellent work!
Amazing reconstruction, with the colors as they were, fantastic! Just the big statues, if I can say, should be improved, to be at the same incredible high level of the rest.
The ruins of Rome today are very impressive even in their ruin. The pantheon with its dome does reveal the grand of Roman architecture. This video of how Rome looked in its heyday shows that the grandeur was not only in the architecture itself, but also in the design and the art and the statuary. For the fan of ancient classical Rome, this video is wonderful and amazing. Thank you to the creators.
Good choice of music to compliment the visuals, superb rendering and lighting. I think the detailed figures distract slightly from the subject; perhaps ghosted images of figures might be an option. I like the constantly moving camera and the near eye level views to show scale. Remarkable job, 5 stars.
It occurred in 663 AD when Emperor Constans II visited Rome - the first to do so in nearly 200 years. In addition to fleecing the people of Italy for much needed revenue for the war against the Arabs, he stripped many of the still relatively intact monuments of their bronze and gilded adornments, including the bronze roof tiles of the Pantheon. By removing the brass and bronze fastenings of many buildings (thus exposing them to the elements) to melt into coin, Constans assuredly did more lasting damage than Alaric or Genseric could have dreamed of. While I understand Constans' rationale, it's pretty pathetic that the empire was in such trouble that an emperor had to descend to looting the Eternal City like some bandit chief.
@@septimiusseverus343 Thanks! I thought he had only taken the bronze tiles from the outer covering, not the ornaments from the coffered ceiling inside (which I didn't even think were there).
@@Podzzy Forgive me, I was incorrect - only the tiles were removed by Emperor Constans. The bronze ceiling of the portico was torn away by Pope Urban VIII in the early 17th century to make bombards for the fortification of Castel Sant'Angelo, as well as for other works.
@@septimiusseverus343 Ok, but to be clear I wasn't referring to the bronze covering of the wooden beams of the pronaos, but to the ornaments of the coffered ceiling under the dome that can be seen in the video at 2:18
The Oculus or opening in the roof of the pantheon. Brilliant on a sunny day, but similar open rooves in an atrium collected rainwater in a heavy shower, in a marble pool below. I know the domed roof was made from light volcanic pumice rock but the eye? Anyone?
The dome is cast from Roman concrete, being thicker at the bottom and becoming thinner as it goes up. The aggregate (the hunks of stuff that is mixed into the cement) is travertine and lighter stuff like pumice was used higher up. The oculus is reinforced with a ring of brickwork, think a horizontal 360 degree arch.

Thank you very much for doing your own project! I agree that we should try to make the past as accurate as possible. Your model is one of the only I’ve seen with the correct quadriga above the main Colosseum entrance. Do you collect ancient Roman coins? I have a few Trajan myself.
I so agree with the comments there ramens got us beat hands down nothing today comes even close would have loved to see it in its hayday time travel back to romeonly if that was possible
I can’t help but wonder how long would it take before the soot from the burning fires begin to dull the beautiful marble and works of art. Guessing they would have slaves constantly cleaning the surfaces.
The Catholic Church is the only reason the building itself still exists. It would have long since collapsed and seen its materials recycled for other projects had it not been converted into a church and therefore continually maintained for the subsequent 2 millennia.
If anything, they preserved it by reconsecrating it. They even saved it after Constans II - a Roman emperor of all people - plundered Rome for precious metals to finance his war preparations against the Arabs, even going so far as to strip the gilded bronze tiles from the Pantheon.
@@nordwestpassageWe have Christianity to thank for Western painting, sculpture and literature and much music. Thanks to the monasteries we can read the works of Ancient Greek and Roman authors.

Every second of this video kept me hooked 🔥🎥 Amazing content as always!

Fantastic insight into what it would have been like to visit and enter these magnificent structures. I felt transported back in time. Thank you.
Brilliant and very atmospheric!

How can scattered ruins in Rome possibly suggest your total recreations?
Do you honestly believe that that's all he relied on for his recreations?

The Catholic Church ruined and defaced this magnificent structure!!
@@henryphilipvige777 not only Church, but medieval citizens of Rome themselves.
The Catholic Church is the only reason the building itself still exists. It would have long since collapsed and seen its materials recycled for other projects had it not been converted into a church and therefore continually maintained for the subsequent 2 millennia.
