same when i was a child about 45 years ago a text book my brother had. although my first of many tripz to rome was in 1984, I only got to the museum in EUR in 2004 - it was sealed off but i sneaked in and it was covered in dust. BUT I was like a child again to see it again.
It would have looked polished and squeeky clean when it was newly built, but I suspect after about 800 years of overuse it gets tarnished riddled with human waste, excrement and smelling of filth. Once pristine structures would start to look grey and worn out, becoming just giant tombs. Once populated and popular and well maintained bathhouses would just start becoming a hotbed of mosquitoes and grime - not pleasant places to be in, like abandoned malls and mansions. They start looking like giant skeletons stretching for hundreds of yards. And after being attacked and sacked several times would just make it feel like you are living in a very unsafe, "cursed" city, populated with "demonic entities and evil spirits". A city where ghosts come to die. Issues become compounded if the city experiences serious cases of floods and earthquakes. The incentive or morale to keep restoring and maintaining is lost and people give up.

Brussels Art & History Museum has also a Rome model. The model of Rome is a model depicting the city of Rome at the end of the 4th century, created by French architect Paul Bigot. He made a total of four models, the finest of which is on display at the Museum of Art & History in Brussels. The 1/400-scale model measures 11 by 4 metres. Paul Bigot (1870-1942) won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome in 1900, which allowed him to spend five years at the Villa Medici in Rome. Each year he sent a piece of work to Paris from there, and the last year Bigot made a scale model of the Circus Maximus. Based on this, he began work on a maquette of the entire city of Rome. The unfinished maquette was first exhibited in 1911 at the International Exhibition in Rome. In 1937, the finished maquette was shown at the Paris World's Fair. Bigot continued to work on his maquette thereafter, incorporating new, archaeological insights. Bigot made four plaster models of his maquette, two of which were lost. Bigot's uncoloured working model is kept at the University of Caen. The only remaining coloured model is in the Museum of Art and History in the Cinquantenaire in Brussels. This model was refurbished and given a new presentation in 2019.
I saw Pompei at age 14. My dad was in US Navy stationed at Naples.,in 1974. since then Ive been a Romanist. Later studied pre law so, appreciated Roman contribution to are systems of law. I recommend any Rome enthusiast to visit Pompei once at least. The craftsmenship and engineering achievement of ancient Rome will blow your mind. Plus Naples I recall had really outstanding food. Im now 65 and I want to take my granddaughters to see Pompei. Inlaws turned out to be Italian, but I think giving a scholar a view of the kernal of western civilization inspires them and I want my grandkids to be motivated before sending them off to college.
It might not be a 100% accurate depiction of Rome but it is an amazing model none the less. The dedication to construct it and the attention to detail is a marvel to behold. I look forward to visiting it some day.
Carlo Pavia learned to build models of ancient Rome from the builder that worked with Gismondi, Pierino De Carlo. Pavia has uploaded a video where he discusses the models and reopens two boxes De Carlo packed away with molds and the original drawings from Gismondi. He also shares historical photos of the late masters of their craft.
That's how I perceive it too, and from a distance it must have been beautiful to anyone back then. But up close I'm afraid that it has been filthy and smelly and not that pleasant. But nevertheless extremely impressive. Had I lived in the ancient world I think I would have loved to visit, to experience Rome, but not to live there (unless for necessity if pursuing a political career).
@@larsrons7937 Like anything else you probably got used to the smell. And pretty much every big city smelled bad, but at least Rome had a good sewer system and public baths.
Wow. Thank you for this. I actually spent a few weeks trying to find good images of this model a few years ago, and have a very large custom made frame of it hanging in my hallway as a result, and all the images at the time were from people posting vacation photos.
I'm so excited that the museum is reopening! I have had it on my list for a long time & I check every so often to see if it's open again. I can't wait to see it!
Same, I went to Rome 5 times in my life so far. The first 2 times I was too young and the 3rd time it wasn't on the menu (short stay), the other 2 times the museum was closed and I've been waiting for it to reopen desperately.
That is a mind-numbing amount of details and work. Holy heck, what a treasure. I wasn't even aware it existed before seeing this video. Thank you Darius for sharing this. Cheers!
I saw this quite some time ago. It's in the EUR area of Rome, which was the 'new city' built in the '30s during Mussolini's time, reflecting the Fascist architecture that was so prevalent at the time. It was fabulous to see this incredible model, though at the time it needed a good dusting and better lighting. There are a couple of photo posters of the model available all over Rome, which is where I first found out about it. The EUR area is very interesting in its own right and well worth the short train trip. By chance or intention, EUR was used as the Allied HQ when Rome was liberated in 1944.
Now that is about as accurate a model of the city of ancient Rome as is possible. Fantastic detail, and very accurate models of the coliseum, the elevated waterways, the temples and courts, and the roman public baths. Excellent work!😊
I saw it in 2010, took loads of pics of it to help me make sense of the ruin we see today. It really helps as much as any CGI rendering in understanding the context of what you see now in Rome.
Well, they don't tell you about the rotting fruit and veg on the streets, people urinating and defecating everywhere, buildings falling apart and constantly setting on fire, diseases affecting 2 of 5 people, filth and mud everywhere and the list goes on. While I wouldn't call them primitive they certainly could have made a lot of improvements in those areas. They were by far the better of the ancient civilizations.
@@AncientRomeLive Yes. I hope they will decide and find funds to make a newer version of it on the same scale.With today's technology. That would be even more awesome after almost a century.
Scaled models of buildings, towns and cities, I always loved them. They give a good perspective. This particular model I find particularly impressive but have only seen it on photos and film. Wanting to see it in real life I never knew its name or location. Thanks for telling me, and for the fine tour. Now access to it should be open when I return to Rome in a couple of years. Cheers.
Wow! Thank you for these awesome videos sir! I keep watching them. You are the best guid and historian about Rome and Roman culture in Italy. I visited there three times in my life. And love to go there next holiday as well. Good luck and thank you so much!
Even with very small models, such as the miniatures used in tabletop gaming, their ability to impress in ways that CG can only hope for is very evident. At least when well done. Maybe that gap can be closed with some more advancement in VR tech and its implementations (imagine through VR, being able to walk the deck of Olympia at the Battle of Manilla Bay). Or so I hope. Personally I think that the reason well made models are so impressive in person, is because of just that, your personal point of view of them, which you can change on a whim. Even with a CG model that you can manipulate with a mouse or whatnot, the perspective will always be somewhat forced and alien as well as being decidedly obvious as a projection, since it is on an obvious screen. Not to mention that even if simple, the controls put another layer of separation between you and what you are viewing/manipulating. edit: I love that along with showcasing the ancient city, this model can be used to show how our understanding has changed over the years. Such as with the bit about the aqueduct at 5:00
Thank you Darius. I NEVER saw this when visiting Rome. Darn! So much to see in that city and not enough time on simple short visits. I suppose one has to do what you do: move there (in my case, for a couple of months)
A splendid model the attention to detail is incredible. I have seen pictures of it in books on Rome . I wonder what would be different with the newer discoveries that have occured in the last nearly one hundred years .
I’d give anything to be able to go back in time and visit Ancient Rome. Better brush up on my Latin though. Can you imagine walking the streets in Ancient Rome watching all the street vendors haggle prices with customers and gorgeous architecture or seeing the soldiers marching and following them to distant lands like ancient Britannia or Isreal. My imagination runs wild at thinking of what it would be like. Roman history and life in the empire fascinates me. It’s my favourite part of history.

@dondavenport7077 oh my god, I am going to seriously consider this as a present and for myself

It would literally be like walking through modern day Mogadishu. Rome was not glorious. It was a fascist state dependent on slave labor.
I don’t think there’s anything useful the Romans have done since 1850
There is just something about a physical model that virtual models don't have, solidity for one. And the expanse of it! Thank you! 🌺
Exactly this is better than VR.
This is wonderful. I imagine the creator having such a good time making this. This needs to be a google maps street view project.
