Colosseum As Never Been Seen Before - Gladiators' salute
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Dive into the breathtaking atmosphere of the ancient Colosseum, festively decorated for a spectacular event where gladiators once battled. These recordings offer a rare glimpse into the largest arena of the Roman Empire, as it appeared during the zenith of the Empire. Experience the majestic architecture and the electrifying atmosphere as we slowly explore the interior of the arena and reveal the view of the densely packed spectator stands. We discover a world where honor and the fighting spirit of gladiators were at the core of the Romans of that era. The Echoes of Elysium and the story of the true champions.
Music: Nessun Dorma by Giacomo Puccini

The music paints a picture of the "cultivated" killings in the Colosseum. Participation in the games at the Colosseum was considered a social event. We find the executions in the arena abhorrent, but how did the Romans see them? Fights and executions, aestheticized in reenactments of mythological scenes. Undoubtedly bizarre. This is exactly what the music aims to convey: Killing as a part of the Romans' event culture. An attempt to make the incomprehensible tangible for us today.
stop lying, this isnt yours. Its lifted from the game assassins creed odyssey. Ive put 100+ hours into that game, I would recognize it anywhere
Wow. This is one of the best and most immersive reconstructions ever. I dream a videogame with this realistic setting.
Thank you very much 🙏
Ryse Son of Rome is a good game. Not as amazing as this video but still a good game about Rome.
@@JustnCas3 We need an AC game about ancient Rome it would be a lot better.
It is from a videogame called Assassins Creed Odyssey. Its not their reconstruction either, search up "assassins creed odyssey, parthenon". This person copied it. The design team at Unity (the maker of the game) are known for recreating historical sights in great detail. France even asked for their help in reconstructing the Notre Dame after it burnt down.
The best representation of the Colosseum that I have seen, thank you. I am sad that it was not preserved as well as the Pantheon, even so its ruins are impressive.
Thank you very much 🙏
Man you guys did a fantastic job on this reconstruction!!!
Thank you 🙏

Who knew? The colosseum was also an opera house. Beautiful imagery.
Thank You 🙏
Please, make more videos like this about ancient rome ! this is art. congrats.
Thank you very much! We will try to stay tuned
Ok, hold on. That multicoloured marble floor shown in the beginning was the actual marble floor from the Curia Iulia, the third Senate House built in 44 BCE. They would never have spent that much money on paving the passageways of the Amphitheater. And what’s up with those”streamers” hanging down from the velarium blocking the view?

Just came across your masterful work. It’s a joy to see this and so many ancient monuments come to life.
Please Please Please do one on Dutch period New York City!!
New Amsterdam, definitely very exciting
Breathtaking! Awesome!
Amazing such a beautiful model of the colloseum!
Even we are fascinated by exploring it. The logic of architecture is fascinating
And to think that I was once here, just 2000 years later. Wonderful job with the CG recreation!
Thanks a lot 🙏
it's amazing. The most impressive reconstruction I have ever seen. Congrats for your work!
Thanks a lot 🙏🙏

I'm not so sure they would have had all those flags hanging down, obstructing the spectators view, but this is otherwise mind-blowing. Great job!
Thanks a lot 🙏
As someone who loves History especially Ancient Rome, I love this channel! Beautiful reconstruction!
Breathtaking 😍
I was there.
Breathtaking…
Thank you very much 🙏
Excelente trabajo, felicitaciones !!
Thank you!! 🙏
Absolutely a gorgeous building ❤🎉
This is absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for opening an astonishing window onto the past. Maybe time does exist simultaneously
Thank you very much and who knows 😉🙏
Wonderful! Gladiatorial combat had much more in common with opera than with the way it is presented in modern movies. Bellissimo!
Please explain your opinion. Fighting to the death in metal and leather versus acting out your protracted death from consumption or being buried alive or being killed by a jealous ex lover while wearing luxurious fabrics? Madonna santa!
@@fernandobaldonado1070 My point was that, based on descriptions by the ancient writers, gladiatorial combat was very theatrical and dramatic, almost choreographed, with well-defined rules and roles. It usually wasn't fatal to the contestants - unless they failed to play their roles well. It was very far from the random mayhem depicted in the movies.
wow.... wow man, thank you for this! for real,
thanks a lot 🙏
Incredible
Thank you very much!!
Imagine somebody 5000 years in the future watching a video like this about the Madison Square Garden. They'll probably use some kind of neural implant.
A very interesting thought. But yes, at some point we too will be a case for archaeologists 😉
@project-moment Hopefully our obsession with TikTok won't be a part of future archeological case studies.
We don't leave any monuments behind, just chatter and selfies 😉
Total decadence
@@project-moment 🤣
With all that marble and statuary it looks extravagant compared to today's stadiums. I just wonder how many billions in today's money 💷💶💴💵 it would cost?
magnificus
Thank you very much 🙏
Not the best version of Nessun Dorma. Amazing video.
Pavarotti would have been a little too expensive 😉
It had a million people at the top of its heights. Not so midtown.
Bellissimo oltre ogni immaginazione da brividi 😮
Grazie mille 🙏
As regards the digital reconstruction of the Amphitheatrum Flavium, I have nothing to say: simply marvelous! You are masters in this sector. Nevertheless, as historian, I have found the soundtrack to be too much out of place, because it reminds of the Italian Ottocento and Novecento. But, Italianess has got nothing to do with Romanity. If you want to let people dream and have chills with your videos, please, you should continue as you magnificently did so far. ;)
Continue make us dream...
Thank you for your comment. The music was chosen deliberately. It illustrates the "cultivated" killing in the colosseum. Attending the games in the Colosseum as a social event. Perhaps comparable to going to the opera. We find the arena's executions abhorrent, but how did the Romans view the event? Fights and executions aestheticized in re-enactments of mythological scenes. It feels bizarre to us. This is exactly what the music is supposed to express. Killing as part of the event culture of the Romans.
However, this is also just an attempt to make what is incomprehensible to us today tangible.
@@project-moment This is the most amazing piece of realisation. The imagery is truly fantastic. Sadly, I do have to agree with riccardo above - the music, magnificent in its own right, tends to detract from the era depicted - the sounds and the images are mutually anachronistic. Brilliant artwork though - quite the best that I have seen.
Thank you very much! We should almost consider putting an alternative sound to the movie, because everyone should be able to enjoy it 100% 😉
@@project-moment I got that.
Although that music makes immersion in the atmosphere of Antiquity more difficult, nevertheless, using modern opera music to evocate the "cultivated" killing in the "Colosseum" is certainly very original, and, now that I have been told the goal, I can appreciate it more. As regards what you said on gladiatoral games, I totally agree: they were abhorrent; something in wich any trace of healthy fun was absent in favor of a selfish and animalistic satisfaction of instincts and libido. About that, Seneca wrote:"There is nothing so ruinous to good character as to idle away one's time at some spectacle[...] Unhappy as I am, how have I deserved that I must look on such a scene as this? Do not my Lucilius, attend the games, I pray you. Either you will be corrupted by the multitude, or, if you show disgust, be hated by them. So stay away." We can say that we will have gotten along with Seneca.
Anyway, good work men!
@@project-moment I would be immensely happy! 😉
Interesting concept with those hanging flags... Some sort of swinging air ventilation ? Im thinking loud hear... If they are not obstructing views and set pararel with walking paths ?
Looks awesome! Just out of curiosity, you interpret the solarium in a very steep angle. Could perhaps briefly explain your decision to do so?
Nice done
thank you 🙏
What were those red banners hanging from the awnings? seems like they would be annoying for the audience as they would obscure your vision
The ancients were anything but primitive. Also, the dangling banners look cool, but suck for clear sightlines 😃
Song name?
Nessun Dorma
listen to pavarotti sing it and its from my favourite composer of all time puccini from a opera which i love and im a spaniard who love classical music and im a rocker.
It is impressive but I think we should be careful here. Those people were going to have a horrible death for the enjoyment of the crowd and the emperor's prestige. Maybe we should dramatise the images using one of those other games when the Colosseum was filled with water. As a western myself I very much know and appreciate that most of our values and orientation were built during that time, like Republic and all that, but ancient Rome weren't nice times.
Thank you very much! Absolutely right, for us people today what happened in the Colosseum is bizarre to the point of being unbearable. But if we are honest, we have to ask ourselves what the Netflix accounts of most Western people look like and we probably come to the conclusion that bread and games are still THE topic today.
Many fights between gladiators did not end in death, but victory for one and defeat for another. They were highly trained athletes, expensive to train and maintain. Their owners weren’t so eager to see them knocked off. Also, many of them had a lot of fans, even enthusiastic groupies.
@@odietamo9376 This is interesting to know. I have strong interest in history and is the first time I have this info even though I already knew that some of the gladiators had fans, but I didn't know it was practise to have just a "winner" AND a "looser". We are influenced to think that the looser would die. Same to that old idea that Christians were put in the Colosseum to be eaten by lions when in truth it never happened, even though Christians were persecuted. Still, as far as I'm aware Roman society was usualy very challenging. I think the midia should be more truthful but then again I'm wishing for too much.
and gladiators were expensive

What’s with the ghastly hackneyed old aria? It has nothing to do with the Colosseum.
A wonderful aria 😉
In this one case, the Romans' bizarre combination of blood and culture
Is this actual real footage?
yes, they recorded 2000 years ago
bad music
People think Rome was a giant city, but it actually was just a mid-sized town. That's why in movies, Rome sets and CGI is scaled up to look more impressive. So it's very nice to see a historically accurate version, even if it looks quaint, compared to New York, Tokyo and Guangzhou.
Today's Vienna is roughly comparable in size to ancient Rome. But even so, it would leave us people of today speechless if we were to see this city in all its splendor. The inner district is a sea of sculptures, urban planning that is dominated by temples in all visual axes right up to the vertical.
No, rome was a very big town back then! Maybe you need more book information😊!?
This comment is extremely misleading. It was a city of 1 million inhabitants, which was unprecedented and made it the largest city in the world. This feat wasn’t managed again until Victorian London almost two millennia later. Even today, a city of one million inhabitants is hardly ‘mid-sized,’ there are only 10 of these in the US. If you’re referring to the city’s physical sprawl seeming ‘mid-sized,’ while obviously it was no Los Angeles, I think any casual glance at the plastico di roma imperiale model demonstrates that it would’ve still looked impressively large-much like a dense New York borough looks today.
Regarding the video though, absolute hats off to the creators. I’ve never seen anything as immersive as your videos which capture the color and vibrancy of the city and its buildings. Can’t wait for more!
in all those so called reconstructions it always looks shiny and clean and straight as an arrow modern..and people say if only I had lived there then..well...it was smelly noisy extremely dangerous and filthy...you wouldn't survive a day there....narrow streets..haphazzard city " planning" ( if at all..) ....all the squalor and shit on your boots from morning till night..enjoy !
Perhaps use a recording where the tenor can actually sing. Whoever it is, he's terrible.
China national anthem
This channel has been recording and uploading footage from the game Assassins Creed Odyssey and pretending its their own, you can search the game up yourself. Stop taking credit away from the team at Unity who actually made this
No scene and none of our assets have anything to do with Ubisoft Assassins Creed or any other game or use anything from it as a basis 😉
@@project-moment its obvious you copied it off of them. I can search it up myself and see hundreds of pictures of this online.
Quite a romantic take on a place of wholesale murder of men women and children with beautiful architecture I might add. I guess the reason why the original builders made it so opulent was because they themselves feared being the first victims. Don't over romanticise the ancient world because it was horrifically violent for most, even for many of the emperors who were often brutally killed over power struggles.
Absolutely disturbing for us living today. Killing as a social event. But it took thousands of years to become a taboo.
As you aptly describe it, the opulent architecture makes it all the more bizarre
@@project-moment yes exactly. On a positive note, the world today is less violent overall than at any other time throughout our history. I wonder how long it will last. 🤷
That is the really big question. Let's hope that our relationship with violence was not just an episode
This is outstanding, I’m amazed so much ❤. Very very good voork ❤🏛️🏺
Thank you very much, your words are an incentive for us! 🙏
