I love this! Can you imagine if history was taught this way in school- with 3D virtual reality?!?! Kids would LOVE history and it would certainly make art history even more interesting than it already is! :) I plan on showing this to my art history kids and my 2-D kids! We need more forward thinking artists to create these visual realities!!
Your videos are just simply amazing. Thank you guys so much. There's something about your vivid explanations of the topics, you guys' wonderful voices and clear interest in the subjects that makes these videos so enthralling for a layman like me. I appreciate the work!
It would be interesting to see a time-lapse of the city, to see the buildings as they went up, and the level of preservation as time went on. Obviously these buildings represent several many years of history, some would have already been ancient when others were just being built.
Just think of the massive amount of human effort it took to tear all of this impressive structural grandeur to the ground. The Dark Ages were truly Dark.
That would be great because you could also see how other people dressed. And I'd love to see how common people lived, how they dressed, their taverns, markets where they bought stuff. It's mainly the reason why I love Mary Beard's book on Ancient Rome because she likes to explore the common folk and the little we know about their daily lives, so not just the aristocracy.
Three things: 1) Textures. It would be great to add some 4k and up textures to the buildings and materials. 2) Ray Tracing. I could not think of a more appropriate use of ray traced lighting than the city of the gods. 3) Make it come alive. Now here is where the jump is, you need to reach out to Ubisoft and work together to put out a FREE VR and non-vr version for the world to have as we would a book on a shelf. This is our collective history and you will make an entire new generation of scientists and historians if you start with these three things. Let me know if you need an introduction.
Amazing - an excellent effort to show how Rome looked. I really appreciate all those who involved in creating this wonderful video, which made us all to see how Rome looked thousands of years ago. With warm regards Balaji - Sydney - Australia
It's remarkable how just about every city as we know it today is put to shame by what this ancient city used to be 2000+ years ago. Paris and London are the only cities outside of Italy even worth mentioning today architecturally, none can truly hold their own in the face of Ancient Rome.
Rome wasn't grey or white city. In fact it was orange and red - those were the dominant colors of the buildings. The same as you can still see now in Naples. "Painted red" - that is what Rome was!
it is astonishing that people without even electricity constructed such grand beauty thousands of years ago, and now even attempts to come close to such beauty like the old penn station in new york are cast aside for mostly pragmatic garbage
You see cohesive style and grand buildings like this in former monarchies and even the soviet union to a lesser extent. When capitalism decides we get whatever the rich guy likes.
@@basicguy99 I live in what was once East Berlin. It was socialist architecture that was boxy and soulless (and still is). The old palace on Museum Island has been rebuilt, and over all it is lovely, but one façade is a smooth white concrete surface at the insistence of an old DDR die-hard who is on the city council and who brags that her father was a high-up in the communist party. If you ever tried to rebuild the grandeur of Rome in Europe today, the socialists would accuse you of being a Nazi and squash your grand designs really quickly. Better hope some rich guy is there to back you up.
Thank you for this, I just came back from Rome, visiting all of these structures that you showed and it was magnificent but at the same time impossible to imagine what it once looked like. You have really helped me in that manner! :)
This is just stunning. What a fantastic tool for study. As someone who studied art history one black and white photo slide at a time of separate Roman monuments in the 90's I cannot believe the advances that have been made. Magnificent.
Love to watch these vids where ancient places are recreated.... Amazing that these can be recreated with such accuracy based on the ruins/buildings and the writings/drawings from back in the day.... One thing I always wonder with these - were there a lot of people walking around and going places? How crowded with people was it back then?
Nice model. Just one little note: The Ponte Cestio as seen at the beginning on the right side of the Island looked different back then. Todays appeareance with the three large bows comes from an later widening of the river. The original Ponte Cestio had just one big bow in the middle and two smaller ones next to it. Only the middle one is still roman.
I really love Rome so much. I have been there 3 times, and I can't wait to go back. I'll go right back, once the Coronavirus (Covid-19) is over, or almost over. Thank you so much, for creating and sharing this video. And thank you for the very clear explanation. It really felt like I was in Ancient Rome.👍😊
I'm struck by the density of buildings. Compared to today's capitals such as London, Paris, DC it seems that there are so many temples and other buildings all crammed in next to each other.
Marvellous! And thank you for the expert historical explanations and interpretations in such a grand overview. A better understanding of time and space of this incredible city. Engineering and aesthetic genius applied about 2,000 years ago. Early modernity.
I look forward to the Assassin's Creed game series creating an even more detailed and interactive version of this city at some point. If you enjoy historical reconstructions you should definitely check out their recreations of Ancient (Ptolemaic) Egypt and Greece (during the Pelopponesian War), ie AC Origins and AC Odyssey. Also they did Rome in AC Brotherhood, but in the Renaissance period.
This is great work though. To be clear, a reconstruction for entertainment has different goals and constraints... the AC games tend to compress scale for practical reasons and take occasional artistic license, while the goal here clearly is accuracy first and foremost. Still, it's great that both types of reconstruction exist... They complement each other.
Wow! Just wow! Two ideas. 1. Please consider the possibility for the user to click on some button and transport to the same place in modern Rome. And back. If this is not possible at every location, make it for some (hopefully many) marked locations. 2. Please make a program on Egyptian tombs at the Valley of the Kings. Here it would be great to concentrate on details, with precise images of everything on the walls. Please restore in computer image what can be restored of the original, since the tombs have been badly damaged (mostly recently). This is a lot of work, so maybe begin with one tomb only, but do it well. Quality over quantity.
waau I cant thank you enough. Incredible. I always wish I could see it in its glory days. Imagine if we could only live in peace, what an amazing world it could have been. Lucky for me Im going to experience it soon when Jesus rule over all the earth for that thousand years of peace, Can't wait. Hope that you will be there too?
We have roughly 100 videos and essays on Ancient Rome. You can find them here: smarthistory.org/introduction-to-ancient-roman-art/ Use the left column to navigate.
@CipiRipi00 But what about the language, I assume the latin language changed a lot from 50 B.C to 300 AD. And what about the customs of the people, the clothes and what they ate...
It would be incredible if one day, we reconstructed Rome as it was at the beginning of the 4th century AD, at least the core of the city containing all the major palaces, temples and administrative buildings. It seems we have the knowledge and ability to do this, although the cost would obviously be astronomical.....but just imagine being able to actually walk around Rome as it was.
Yours is an important question. The model is based on the research of numerous scholars (archaeologists, classicists, historians, etc. and while the study of history is never certain, there is quite bit of academic consensus expressed in this model. For more on the research, visit Rome Reborn.
Smarthistory lacks no good thing. I wasn't expecting a VR tour, but "here" we are. 🙂 The deep dive into the Temple of Vesta / rostra area was amazing. It's easy to take for granted just how famous figures like Castor and Pollux were, but there were entire temples dedicated to them! The exteriors alone are so elaborate... It's very cool that technology allows us to envision and appreciate this more.
some can watch this video and know more in a short time then someone with a PhD in roman history would've known just 5 years ago. thats bold. and its true, we are so privy to historical information its crazy.
I would like to be able to walk these streets with VR Goggles, anyone know if this is possible? I downloaded the Rome Reborn trial on my Mac (Catalina 10.15.6) but it wont open for some reason after i download it. The videos on their website only show flying around, Im wondering if you can run through the streets from a normal persons perspective.
@@smarthistory-art-history Well, yes. The viewer has control. It would be nice if we didn't have to stop the video every few seconds to locate an object or listen again to an important piece of information.
@@smarthistory-art-history Nice, thanks! I hadn’t come across this website before though had know about the project for a while. It’s a shame you can’t explore the model at your own leisure, but the virtual tours look very good nonetheless.
I think, but am not entirely sure, that when you buy the app, you are free to explore. I think the tours are optional. But again I am not certain about this.
@@smarthistory-art-history I looked it up and I don’t think you are free to explore. I think you have to buy each tour to see the different areas. Bit of a shame; I’d have thought it would make sense to make it a bit pricier but include the entire map.
Imagine if this is made with the Cyberpunk's 2077 engine on a RTX board! There are also millions of books, studies and pictures from which everyone collects the historical informations and add it to the scene. Like a wiki, always improving the details and making it freely navigable!!!
The city was huge with possibly well over one million inhabitants. I imagined that it sprawled and sprawled. And I also wonder what mode of transport the Ancient Roman citizens assumed since all roads lead to Rome and it obviously had an incredibly well organised civil works program in place. I do not suppose that the central business district was filthy or dirty. I believe civil surveyors ensured that appearances were kept within the CBD since it was the administrative, banking and legal centre for all other subjects of the Empire.
Bro used the source engine and thought we wouldn't notice. Honestly it's more impressive that you did this with source then if you had done it with an engine actual designed specifically for 3d visuals.
