This is amazing! Keep up the good work! I'm enjoying all of your videos
One thing that I cannot completely figure out are the sculptures: did the material they were built on (bronze or marble) determine if statues were coloured or not I have seen in your videos that some statues you recreate - but not all - are coloured. I'm intrigued by this because the information out there is very misleading (thanks Michelangelo. I think the reality lies somewhere in between the all-white-sculptures and the bright-fluorescent-sculptures, but I'm interested in learning more and understanding why you decided to keep some of these in bronze.

It’s amazing how just 100-years ago first world nations were essentially made up of illiterate citizenry who lived in straw huts and crapped in an outhouse. Compare this with the Ancient Greek, Egyptian and Roman civilizations spanning 2000 to 5000 years ago who had baths, plumbing, running water beautiful music, art and architecture with a political system mirroring todays. We lost so much during the Dark Ages.

Hello, my goodness, Thank You! How magical and wondrous to see this brilliant reconstruction. I imagined the marble glinting in the sun with gold shimmering near the clouds, what a awesome sight to behold! The Romans and Greeks (and Egyptians) built spectacular Palaces, Temples etc. And of course other Ancient Civilisations now discovered of mind blowing intricacies, paintings and so forth. Thank you again. Xxxx

I love how you add the landscaped gardens! Most restorers picture Rome as a city of stone and marble without a single plant, tree, or garden. It was as if the Ancient Romans went out of their way to stomp and kill every blade of greenery within the city limits. Also. when the technology is available, I think it would add a lot to show people walking about the city as well.

The only place existing on this earth to give a feeling of the grandeur that once was is in Damascus. The Great Umayyid Mosque still resembles these images right down to its' mirror marble floors and up to the Cedar's of Lebanon rafters. Grecian walls surround the sanctuary to this day.
You can go see it. It is still there
Edit: no computer generated images needed

Amazing to think that the Romans could produce and transport that amount of building material, on an industrial scale, in a fairly short period of time. Most of their huge monuments were built in 5-10 years.
Compare that to the Norman built Durham Cathedral which is a similar size, built 1100 years later, which took 100 years to build.

There was also other human rubbish and human body wast it was not all pretty as in the video but it gives a understanding of building sculpture and advanced technology that never did advance over hundreds of years, till it was destroyed by other Romans in search of building bricks and other pillars and Timbers,

People think this is all more civilized. but there are always the slaves and always the privileged. It wasn't the slaves who built those structures who enjoyed them. It was the ruling class. and those weren't women. It's good to be the king. Now, get back to work, dogs.

These ate quite intriguing in most ways.
Two things I miss, however:
No people (tho some statues) to give realism.
Columbus and edifices are virtually identical (same cracks, veins, patterns. showing everything is cloned.
But truly admirable.

Very little of ancient Rome remains. Where did it all go What happened to all that stone, marble and bronze Looking back it looks cretinous to have destroyed so much beautiful architecture. Although I understand the original Roman sewers are still used today.

the music sound like a pink floyd stuff, wow. i notice the buildings are made mostly by marble and that prevents the building being engulfed by fire not like buildings now with wooden shafts.

More like a relatively small town house for a public servant than a real palace for a de facto ruling monarch (when the then new Principate still had the heavy trappings of the dead Republic.

I always dream of being able to see Rome around 181 AD just at the opening of the colosseum. Just to see Roam at its peak, the Buildings and Temples in their Grandeur

It is truly amazing what the Romans were capable of building and for the most part a lot of it is still standing including many ruins of roads to so much.

It's definitely bigger than I actually thought it was.
Hollywood movies and tv series never have done it justice.
They ALWAYS portray it SMALL!

Augustus was smarter than Nero because he knew fewer people would want to kill him if he refrained from rubbing his wealth and power in their faces.

So many lives were taken by the Roman empire. Very sad. Just as today. Not much has changed in terms of power and control.

Both Octavian and Livian were Bone family names, that's why Augustus and Livia had long lasting happy marriage.
