I love Roman history. And I'm so grateful to live in a time where we're able to reconstruct and present their architectural accomplishments. But there is another side to this coin. I figure, if I were honored to be a guide through a walk like this, I'd preface it with this. What you are going to see is amazing, thrilling, even, the imagination, engineering, and labor of a great city. But. I want you to keep in mind. the untold wealth that what you see made possible Is the result of conquest. Many died, many were made slaves, many toiled here, building this, for their victorious masters. Keep that in mind, as you wonder at the beauty of it. This is a beautiful place. It is NOT a nice place;

This is astonishing and spectacular! Only complaint I have (and I’m a typography freak) is that the titles are VERY hard to read. Several factors: 1. all caps of Hadrian font are not meant to be read quickly. Caps and lower case are always easier. 2. Outlined letters are always difficult for people to read. Best to use white type and add drop-shadow where needed. 3. Size of lettering is too large. Forces eye to travel too far west-to-east. I’d love to help improve this - will work super cheap because I LOVE your video!

Very excellent work as everyone else has said, BUT) i think it would be very helpful to have a companion insert window showing a walkway map from overhead, matching the walk or flight being shown in the main window. Mind you, I have no idea how much extra work this might make for you - for all I know, it would actually be impossible but, i still think it would be very helpful.

Excellent video! Observing all these magnificent structures one cannot help but to wonder if the Romans as a nation did not posses a superiority, narcissistic complex or was it that each Emperor was bent in surpassing the previous one And how the average citizen felt walking by these structures every single day

Absolutely fascinating! What a treat!
Thank you so much.
I was going to be an archeologist, but I quickly found out I’d have to dig, get dirty, and sweat! So, I chose another vocation. but I still have a fascination for the cultures of our ancient ancestors! Thank you for all your hard work!

Ha this is great. Some questions: Were there trees Or is it just impossible to know
In what state of repair were buildings Were any decaying, or were they all shiny and well maintained
How many people / animals would you expect to see What kind of shops or other activities would be going on

To think that those streets were bustling with people and also with carts being pulled by horses. Market places, shops, commerce, discussion, and banter all going on around you as you walk down those ancient roads.

What happened with all those temples The Roman Empire made full sense before the Christiany. I think they lost a part of their culture becoming Christians. although Catolithism is a mix of traditions. Great video.

I absolutely love these. Could someone merge your 3D models with photographic images from different spots in the Forum and post the GPS coordinates for history buffs like me to use when visiting the ancient ruins

Walk, run, fly! Majestically! But only 1 tree in the 7: 00 stands lonely) Romans loved sacred groves and trees. Despite the building density, probably, there were still corners of greenery.

Compared to what modern architecture is now, I'd take this any day of the week
Would love to see a recreation of what Rome would have looked like when Belsarius entered it!

Breathtaking, stunning, majestic. Just to think of ancient Rome! And now, it’s as if I, myself, have walked those very streets tonight.
Thank you so very much.

Your reconstructions are great. I hope for a walk on Capitol hill and at least some earlier stuff before everything was of marble to be able to compare.

I'm of Italian descent and when I see these reconstructions I wonder if my ancestors enjoyed these views of ancient construction and artistry.

Thank you very much. More these walkings around ancient Rome, please. Air views are great, but views from the floor make people be there.

No goddamned graffiti. Nice. Spray paint had yet to be invented. Graffiti was found to exist in the ruins of Pompeii, though.

It's very interesting, but empty of people, animals, carts and other vehicles. How much traffic would there be

When you build like this, you believe your way of life will never end.
Something to reflect upon.
