The Times | A Roman villa in Somerset
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2022
- The Villa Ventorum has been rebuilt to emulate its original 4th century AD excellence. It sits on the 800-acre Newt estate in Somerset, and it is striking the level of detail archeologists, historians and architects were able to bring to life. The foundations of the original villa sit only a few meters away, on top of which a museum as been built.

Amazing. As a big Ancient Rome follower, this is very pleasant for me to see.
Absolutely wonderful little trip through this magnificent re-creation. I hope to visit some day. Thank you.
Beautiful awesome project, bringing a Roman villa to life❗
Well done! You have done a very good job! It is unique! She is very beautiful!
Lovely! Great job!
I wish they could build a house like this now with modern comforts would happily live there
Wonderful work!!
So what’s the rent? I won’t go over 500 sesterces a month.
Nice job. To me, the Roman villas always look cold, but I suppose compared to a Round house, probably pretty snug.
I remember reading in Britain BC, a book by the archaeologist Francis Pryor, that he had spent some time in a reconstruction of an Iron Age roundhouse during a storm and had been surprised at how cozy and warm it was inside. Despite the wind and rain there didn't appear to be any leaks, and the straw roof hadn't been blown off. Pryor isn't overly fond of the Romans though so he could be biased.
Apparently the round shape of the house is better at conserving heat in comparison to a square building although I am not a 100% sure about that.
@@bc7138 I imagine a round house could be snug. It must have been or my ancestors (some of them) would not have survived. On the other hand, the heat being piped thru the floors and walls sounds more appealing-unless you are the poor slave tasked with running the system, which would probably be my luck.
They had underfloor heating!
"This space.." Yes, it's a ROOM.
Could you give us more detailed information.
Was there a basement?
How the kitchen looked like Stove did it have a chimney?
The baking oven did it have a chimney?
The cooking pots? and other cooking utensils?
The windows , did they have a glass and if so did all windows have a glass window pans?
Some windows had a shatters , did they had also a window pans inside , or only shatters?
I see some books that look like our modern books?
how hinges in doors and windows looked like?
How door locks looked like?
More detailing information about the bedding.
What was located on the upper floors?
From what century was that villa?
Hi Andrzej - that's a lot of questions I don't know the answer to. I suggest you check this website out: www.exploringbuildinghistory.co.uk/villa-ventorum-at-the-newt-a-roman-estate-reimagined-part-1-looking-at-the-exterior/
We are a group of volunteers supporting a roman villa in North Leigh Oxfordshire. It is an great video. Could we use the video and include our own voice over?
Hi and thank you for the comment. This is material of The Times so it may not be re-used.
Wonderful. But please never insult your viewers with anything less than 60 fps captures and rendering!
25 fps is literally a slideshow whenever the camera moves. Especially with a massive 144Hz screen.
I've never been so insulted as I was while watching this video. I'd go as far to say I feel violated by it. There was just far too much historical detail and enthusiasm for my sensibilities.
