The world's first modern city. The effect on people arriving there from their mud huts and farms and tiny villages must have been jaw-dropping. With no TV or photography they may have maybe seen crude paintings of it at best. The vast civic spaces would have been incredible even to a modern city dweller like myself, filled with fabulous art sheathed in gold and polychrome marble as they were.
Very true, it was a magnificent achievement for the ancient world, however to a modern person stepping back in time what one would have noticed instantly would have been the smell of Rome, with such a large population and lack of modern medicine and sewerage systems to dispose of waste as efficiently as today it would have been a breeding ground for disease, Just simply surviving childhood in the ancient world wasn’t a given, If I could go back to those times and spend a few days there to experience the marvellous architecture I would, but I certainly wouldn’t want to live in those times.
@@kiely4561surprisingly Rome had an funktioning sewersystem, as all Toilets were public and had an underground disposal system, and were constantly provided With fresh water by the aqueducts. Also the thermes kept the people clean. The unbearable Smell of cities were much worse in Medieval times as Roman Hygiene was completely forgotten
Can you imagine going back in time and walking around Rome as it was in ancient times...How awe struck you would be to see such massive building and monuments at the height of their glory...it must have been something to see
I am so thankful to all of these historians, artists & techies of the Creative Team of 'HISTORY IN 3D' who put together this brilliant & vivid view into the past history of the Roman world. Selfishly, i would like it to go on for an hour more.
War, neglect, revenge vandalism, selling spolia, but so much of rome disappeared in the kilns of the lime burners. If you burn marble or travertine you get lime, a key component in ancient mortar and concrete. Rodolpho Lanciani wrote a book "The Destruction of Rome" where he details to demolition of ancient Rome over 1200 years. Its actually an interesting read.
@@CHAS1422 That's very interesting. I'll look into that book. To think also of everything that had survived until the Renaissance only to be torn for villas and palaces...
Fantastic. These video's are so amazing. Really makes it come to life in a way people have dreamed about about for over a thousand years. Really enjoyed the close up shot of the Pantheon, showing how large the whole thing was, and not just the dome that still exists today, 0:43 but the whole video is magical. Thanks for posting.
Wow, this is absolutely incredible! I can't even imagine how much work must have gone into recreating this gigantic city of ancient Rome, truly mind-boggling. It would be cool to bring this out as a VR exploration game on Steam. You should really consider doing that, many would buy it.
That's some Amazing, Remarkable Work. The future of History is 3D. That would be an Awesome way to get students hooked. I'm looking forward to more incredible reconstructions from you. I tip my hat to this Team. Job well done !!!
Please use this soundtrack for the other videos of Rome! Especially those about the forum and the flight over the whole city! I think this music is beautiful, and truly reflects the might and greatness of the ancient city.
The first time that i see such an excellent depiction of the Campus Martius, the other animators always try to render the old forum to the colosseum or the imperial fora, Excellent work, thank you very much.
These vids are soooo beautiful and can really make me cry. Cry because so much beauty is lost. Thanks to you it comes back to life in a way. Thank you 🙏.
Charming reconstruction. I hope that the graphic accuracy of architectural details really corresponds to the excavations made and concrete evidence and is not the result of added by free interpretation.
How can the Tiber river be missing in the reconstruction of Campvs Martivs? Great job, but a very important detail is missing. Roma non è Roma senza il Tevere. Ciao
In this animation, ancient Rome truly looks like an ordinary city from today. At one point, I suspected to see a train station but then, it was just a public square. Must've been the maximum that was possible, given the technology of back then.
@@Thomas-xd4cx they used more concrete and had a faible for plant elements but the way they built can't be described anything other than proto-industrial. The same city grid, the same buildings - everywhere. They even had some sort of regional distribution of labor with might explain how they were able to be so homogenous across regions.
@@Thomas-xd4cx How so? It is well-known that the Roman Empire was characterised by regional specialisation - potter ware came from North Africa, grain came from Egypt, silver from Hispania and you also had specialised regions for stonemasonry. It is also well-established that Romans build their cities with an ideal form in mind, using a chessboard pattern for roads and building amphitheaters, public baths and temples everywhere they could. How is this not a proto-industrialised scheme for civilisation?
@@Thomas-xd4cx I've been to Rome, and while it is of course an impressive city (back then and also now), and while "proto-industrial" might be a bit over the top, I do think that the Romans had a certain hegemonic style of architecture which is just as archetypical for Rome as skyscrapers are for the modern world. Of course, when comparing the former to the latter, the Romans cared a lot more about splendor and details. But when comparing Roman architecture to baroque or neo-classical architecture, it seems relatively minimalistic, except for things like mosaics and wall paintings, which, admittedly, show dedication. Nevertheless, there was a Roman way of building a city as well as building individual houses and public institutions. I'm not saying the Roman way of building and crafting was careless - all I mean by that is that it was, to some extend, standardised, either due to modelling everything after Rome (or Greece) or due to a hegemonic school of architecture or some other reason. Also, we shouldn't forget how mobile the Romans were. Citizens of the empire changed places more frequently than Americans do today (and Americans are known to be quite mobile). It could have been possible that this also contributed to a coherent Roman "style".
@@Thomas-xd4cx I like the Graeco-Roman style as much as everybody else, but I also have a certain passion for the slightly chaotic medieval patchwork which is so characteristic for many old city centres in Europe. What I don't like is the neo-classical style because it tries to combine Graeco-Roman and medieval styles in a way I deem to be an overkill, even if some neoclassical buildings look ok.
A certain style I like for its minimalism would be the late Roman/early medieval style which can be seen in buildings like those constructed under Theorodic in Ravenna. It is simple, yet captivating.
Many other recreations do not do it justice in terms of scale and the richness in texture and detail that this model provides. Imagine being fully immersed in a VR experience here, filled with hustle and bustle of NPC's. Seriously, how has no one done this yet??
I get a little sad to hear how big things were. Everything seemed to aspire to greatness and an architectural concept that expresses the idea of civilization (even if it was not done in a peaceful way expresses that idea). In comparison today we see large buildings that break harmony and peace, poorly planned constructions, pollution in urban beauty. It's as if we had regressed in this regard. It even seems that the old cities are more modern than the current ones.
I'd be curious to see Constantinople during the reign of Julian and, of course during the reign of the later Justinian. It'd be interesting seeing the mix of pagan temples with churches as the Roman Empire began to morph in the 4th century. Seeing a newly constructed Hagia Sophia from Justinian's reign would be amazing too though
It's a totally great video. Makes one be able to time travel. The only thing which could top your reconstructions would be a fully immersive virtual reality you delve into without the usage of the eyes but more like with the Neuralink system Elon Musk envisiones alebit in a fuly matured version. Just imagine how great it would be to be able to actually walk in such a digital reconstruction, to smell the dishes served in the tabernae, the smell of the Tiber, the smells of the whole city, to hear the sounds, all the humans who lived there in 320 CE / or 1073 Ab Vrbe Condita. This part of the virtual cyberspace surely would be visited by millions of virtual reality tourists. BTW: Thanks to Siri on my macBook pro, I found out the music you used in this video. It's "Suspens Game" by JJ, the single version, available on Apple Music.
that's really great. But, considering the position, it really looks more the Marco Aurelio's column, instead of Traianus'. It is also located between the Baths of Agrippa and the Arco di Claudio, so...
awsome. well done who did that. makes me wanting to slender through antique rome. Unbelievable that almost all of this was destroyed. I wonder how long Rome looked like this. I guess untill the 7 or 8 th century. Can you do this for Constantionople for the year 1095 after christ??? PLEASE
@@markopalis6065 because i want to see Constantniople with the eyes of the cursaders and how the biggest city of Europe looked like in that time. Imagine a city like Aachen, Frankfurt am Main, London, Paris, Oslo, Tours, or Venice at that time, compared with Constantinople. Thats why. Legendary the city walls of Constantinople, about 20 km, which werent destroyed until 1453.

Excellent. Really shows how dominating the Mausoleum of Augustus was.
...großartig!
Truly an incredible city the size of which would not be equaled again until the start of the 19th century. Civilisation at its apex
Fantastique ! Beau travail ! 👍
Si hay algo que me encanta son sus espectaculares reproducciones imprecionantes felicitaciones por su excelente trabajo 🇵🇦👍
