I always love coming back to this video. The detail is so precise, I noticed at 8: 31 the features of the imposts of the piers and even the scale of the marble bricks are exactly as seen with the single remaining pier standing at the Basilica Julia today, WOW! One question, is the alley at 8: 31 wider than the alley at 8: 27 It seems like with this reconstruction it is, and I have noticed that with the remains of the basilica today too, although anything I read about the site says that the spacing is the same. Thank you for making these reconstructions, by far the most accurate on the internet from what I have seen, best of luck with your works!

I am blown away by the magnificence of your creation and how it puts me right there in Rome of that period. You have indeed created a time machine!
One question: Is there a way to create a video like this one with moving people in it to bring it so much closer to life There's a kind of sadness about the video because it's so incredibly well made and realistic except that without people going about their business, it's like viewing the Eternal City after the mythical claim about a neutron bomb, which was supposed to be able to kill people but leave buildings intact.

Beautiful work!
Yesterday I read that Circus Maximus could contain 250. 000 people.
Now, thank to your beautiful work, I dream for a moment to be there.
And always yesterday I have seen another beautiful work about the underground of the Flavian Amphitheater (Colosseum.
It was amazing how the Romans were good in building (thanks to Emperor Augustus' friend Vipsanio Agrippa, who was a great general but also an incredible architecture: Pantheon and all the aqueducts.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for this tour. That's what I am waiting for already a certain time. The IVth century state is somptuous, the full beauty, however the empire was already in decline and the society decadent. The late republic / early empire seems much more interesting to me. Please, more videos from the period, if it's possible. And what about the time of Scipio Africanus and Punic wars

I think the Temple of the Jupiter Optimus Maximus is not that on top the Tabularium, but the bigger and whiter temple to the left at min 9: 34. Besides, are you absolutely sure there was a temple or another structure on top of the Tabularium There was indeed that Temple of Juno Moneta to the right of Tabularium(same minute 9: 34 for better reference.

A stunning digital performance!
Having enjoyed Colleen McCullouhg's Masters of Rome series numerous times and visited Rome quite often, I absolutely love this digital depiction! McCullough's descriptions (and detailed maps) correspond nicely with this digital tour.

Great video and a greart time travel back to ancient Rome.
But you forgot to mention the song used in this video. I tried to find it via Shazam but it failed.
Remember, sometimes, some might want to download these songs from all the streaming platforms.

Cities like this could not be feasibly built in today's world. The cost would be far too great for any country to attempt this feat. If I could live in such a city with such beauty in its construction and layout I would never get tired of it. Absolutely stunning!

Visually breathtaking and a reminder of how compressed the city was, lacking land mass. The night noise must have been overwhelming! Much less the smell of so tightly compacted a population! Thank you, for all your time and effort. Pat

Great job, but honestly, there's already a literal plethora of reconstructions of Rome in its heyday. Can someone please make one of these but Rome in the early middle ages See the extent of how this opulence was withered down to ruins

How about a reconstruction of the Subura, the less wealthy area, north and east of the forum.
Not quite as spectacular as the temples and baths but, it would give us a true feel for Roma.

Temple of Castor & Pollux known as the Dioscures (the gemelli (twin) gods. But Pollux was always forgotten as for Remus in the foundation of Rome. Yes Pollux is there maybe as a reminder of Remus.

My god, the POWER and MAJESTY this depicts is a tearjerker. Every day I only find my reverence for the Roman civilization, its heroes, its monuments, its values and ideals, vindicated tenfold.

Wow! Brilliant. The glory of Rome's architecture is absolutely grand, stunning and is matchless. There's awe and joy watching something we could never imagine on our own. Magnificent.

Stunning. Great work. A lot of ancient Rome's visual appeal comes from its topography, the hills, and how the buildings are layered in diferent levels like a wedding cake.

Wooow, Incredibly magnificent! 2000 years ago and yet so advanced. Incredible! Probably a good part of humanity at that time was living in caves and huts.

I visited Rome in 2015 and it felt broken and seedy. This presentation is more the real Rome’ to me than the city I visited in 2015. Thank you.

I wonder if common people were allowed to visit this area, i am guessing it was restricted to the senatorial and equestrian classes only

And to think we can emulate how the Romans lived now that we have access to the Metaverse/VR. The future is now. Beautiful work!

We need to build the hinge like this again. Or at least try. Every nation should have remarkable architecture like this.

It was such a magnificent city. Still glorious, but nothing like it was during the Roman heyday. I'd love to have seen it.
