Virtual Ancient Rome in 3D - Aerial view, 8 minute flight over the detailed reconstruction
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Our goal is to create the most extensive, detailed and accurate virtual 3D reconstruction of Ancient Rome. In this video you can see the whole center of the Eternal City from the air, as well as other significant areas, such ar Campus Martius, or Trastevere (Transtiberim). You can see the Forum, Colosseum, imperial Forums (Fori Imperiali), as well as famous baths, theaters, temples and palaces. This is the current progress of our project, and as you can see about 40% of all Rome, as it was in 4th century AD, is already done.
This video is just a current progress overview, please watch other our videos and follow our project pages - there you'll find more detailed reconstructions and information about famous buildings and monuments of ancient Rome.

Dear followers, thanks for your feedback! I have one only request - please do not write comments about 'Rome was not white', 'it was brightly colored' etc. I have explained many times already, that these reconstructions already contain accurate colours according to the relevant researches. Rome was never painted in flashy colours, this is a new, now popular delusion. The colours were calm and applied sparingly. Thanks.
You’re exactly right. This viral bit of misinformation was launched in an oddly mocking one-off that proposed because some pigments were found in Roman marble that the Roman’s had no sense for gradients. This conclusion was absurdly spurious considering Roman achievements in arts and architecture as evident in extant mosaics and graffiti. Roman’s could carve the human form from stone with realistic precision but could only paint by the numbers? The shading in Roman mosaics is extraordinary. The fallacy was completely exposed by the beautifully painted statuary found in herculaneum, the head of the red haired woman.
@@teddyjackson1902 it was just Carthaginians trash talking.
people are done been told what to do
@@juansmith3169 he did it already. I am laughing to that troll being punished, he deserves to wear donkey ears and go behind the blackboard. But I guess woke trolls never learn anything, too dumb. * shrugs *
I heard the colours were reserved for painting statues of VIPs. Emperors, famous warriors...
These need to be turned into VR "destinations" when it's all complete. It would be amazing to "walk" through this model.
Yes i so agree with you and it would be Fantstic too
But no people, please. The vr people still look weird and move so unnaturally.
That would be so awesome. To add go the idea, ideally the streets should have real details, like clothes hanging outside the _insulae_ where most people lived, tables outside _tabernae_ , fabric sunshades, wares outside stores, stalls with foods, graffitti on walls, etc. A visual reference for me would be the tv series "Rome", which in my opinion is the finest and more realistic recreation of the real Rome that has ever been made.
I love 3D imaginery and appreciate the painstaking work involved; the only problem is that, as helpful as the results are, they normally look so sterile that they feel weird and unnatural. I completely understand the limitations of technology; just expressing my hopes that in the coming decades - perhaps with the help of AI - we'll be capable to visually reconstruct the city in a more organic manner, if it makes sense.
That city was unbelievably advanced for its time. Its organization and architecture still looks impressive even for 21st century standards
The reality is Carthage was advanced for its time when Rome was a backwater province.
Greetings from Rome. I'm a royalist too. I met a Brazilian royalist in Rome from Londrina. He was a barrister, one of the nicest people ever met. We met in a royalist meeting of the "monarchist union".
@@lucaschiantodipepe2015 greetings! Royalist movement is raising in Brazil. We will restore our monarchy in this century, for the greater glory of God!
@@rafael6421 do you know the TFP? They're royalist. I have many books from them. What do you think about the TFP? Greetings.
@@lucaschiantodipepe2015 I know them a bit. In Brazil there was a dispute over the TFP naming rights. But I think the group that represents TFP legacy here is the Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Institute (IPCO)

Great quality drone footage, considering it's almost 2,000 years old.
That's not drone footage. All computer regenerated and rendured.
@@ph11p3540 nah fam this is real life film
@@ph11p3540 oh dear....some people really need "joke" tags for everything....
@@ph11p3540
Loool
@@ph11p3540 Nop! It is a real Visigoths' drone. They were planing their 410's attack. 😄
Very nice--well done! If I may make a suggestion, it would be even better to have subtitles for some of the major buildings and landmarks, so we can tell what we're looking at. Of course I recognize the Colosseum and a few other locations, but it would be nice to know more, and I'm sure your viewers would benefit from it. Thanks!
I thought the same, but then that would detract from the illusion of flying over the city. Perhaps another version could be posted, with annotations.
I would like to see the major fora labeled, too.
Perhaps even throw in a compass in a corner indicating the direction of flight?
Thank you! (insert Michael Scott gif)
Agree. Lovely video BTW
As a Roman myself, I must say I'm impressed. Wonderful work. I preferred watching it at 3/4 speed however. It was a bit too fast at normal speed to fully appreciate the various Monuments...
You have a great suggestion of watching this video in 3/4 speed! Add that to my recommendation of full screen viewing, and I think we will have the perfect experience.
All we need now is some background audial, like wind, birds chirping, the roar of the crowd at the Coliseum, and laughter coming from a comedy play at one of the amphitheaters. AND...how about some rain, and clouds with their shadows moving across the city? OMG...even just THINKING about adding all this, makes my brain tired!
Guarda che manca il colosso di nerone vicino al colosseo
yeah, great work for an independant artist.. but could be so much better with more realistic rendering... it looks like video game circa 2003
Glorious. Never a single city influenced the course of Humanity so much, and never a single city ever again will!
Quite true. Rome's legacy is worldwide, especially evident in the calendar and its alphabet, and also, by its descendants, a clock consisting of a rotation pointer and a circular array of numbers from 1 to 12. (Pope Gregory and his team, very likely descended of Rome, eliminated three leap-year days from every 400 years to produce what is essentially a perfect solar-year calendar.) Its engineering and architectural marvels are seen everywhere, and its tri-partite government during its Republican Era was at the basis of the three-branch government concept adopted in the US --- and possibly in other
countries (?) as well.
It had to do with the personality of ancient romans and latins. Just thinj they were one of the smallest kingdom(and republic after)in Italy. Cisalpine gauls,samnites,etruscans,greeks, venetians all outnumbered romans but they managed to be the master.they learned with H
humble from etruscans and greeks, fought gauls and samnites, learn how to sail while fighting carthago and use diplomacy with pragmatism . They were stubborn but open to learn from enemy, resolute on their goal and cynic enough to be the definite empire of the ancient world.
@@AndreaBorto Reminds me of my extended family two generations ago and how they were.
The family name on my mother's side was "Latini" -- '[the] Latins'. There had to have been a descendancy from ancient Alba Longa, Latiium (Lazio) and Roma, itself. I have a (perhaps far-fetched) theory about the surname on my father's side which I won't belabor here, but it does imply "of the Senators" -- 'Senatoribus'?
Tell that to the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Phoenicians, etc.
@@donsena2013 as I can see on Italian websites,your surname seems a contraction of "Siena" -> "Sena" and it's from Campania.it is not inusual in Italy that a surname belonging to a certain region refers to city in other places. For example Trieste is spread in Calabria or Lombardo is a sicilian surname.
This definitely needs to be in VR. Where you walk around the whole city. I would pay for that!
Unbelievable reconstruction, Ancient Rome was an absolutely magnificent City and your recreation helps us realize that!!!
Thank you! I hope so!
@@historyin3d It really does thankyou!
Superb presentation 👏
Having visited Rome 4 years ago, this magnificent reconstruction helped me visually piece together gaps in my experience. Thank you!
@@historyin3d Hard to believe my ancestors 1st contact of Rome was that of a tiny settlement, thanks for this wonderful video.
I was born and grew up in Rome. So the ruins are part of the city and one's DNA. Some of them are bus stops. They just are , and you don't question them. But they are ruins. One doesn't often imagine the absolute glory and awe, that they must have inspired. What a traveler, who may have only heard of by a singing bard e.g., sees for the first time when coming to Rome. (Or also, the Mayan cities). Amazing reconstruction; although I got to say I am a bit lost. After the Colosseum, and (I think) Trajan's forum it got harder to tell. Havent been back in so long.
This reconstruction is a magnificent achievement, I can only imagine the hours of painstaking research that went into this video.
Yeah. Gradually I'll speak and explain this really interesting process in upcoming videos!
@@historyin3d I'm sure it took a hell of a lot longer than hours . If some form of commentary or commentaries could be added to this I would certainly pay to watch it and I'm sure many would also . I think this is really important, a great achievement.
So perfect that EVEN the mountains in the background are perfectly recreated, great job!
@@The614zeke Thanks! Read the pinned comment please.
@@eldergamer2832 Thank you! I hope it makes effect!
Every time I visit Rome, I simply cannot wrap my head around how advance and gorgeous this city was, and the harm that was done once it fell over and over...
The problem was that the Roman’s did not care, because nothing came before them so they could not imagine the devastation of collapse. They had a personality of indifference since the beginning.
I wish, I could give you 2774 likes, for every year Rome existed since its legendary foundation by Romulus in 753 BCE.
Often I fantasize to walk ancient Rome after using a time machine as an intertemporal tourist.
You work is just great.
We shall correct the anual number is 2774ad today, not 2021ad after christian.
You could try that in a lucid dream
@@gery8218 I can’t try. Too many Christians will not agree. Our orginal annuity is 2774. 2021 is not a comparison to our today technology
Zauber haft....ein eleganter traum....
I don't understand why the calendar is still related to a god, especially those who are not Christians, we are still in the baboon stage if we still believe in supernatural beings
Roma è Eterna ❤🇮🇹
I can only imagine walking at the ancient streets!!!! I was lucky enough to visit modern day rome and it was extremely beautiful. It truly is the eternal city
Thank you! There will be virtual apps as well)
once we have enough money to throw away
i'm sure someone will create a life-sized reconstruction of Rome as a tourist destination
Can hear the shouts: "In the skies! A flying thing from the Gods! Judgement upon the City of the Caesars!" This is stupendous - truly brings it to life.
As a current Roman citizen, I congratulate you on your valuable work.
Thank you, glad to know!
Imagine coming from somewhere where things were not as advanced and arrive / see Rome like this for the first time.... it leaves me breathless in present time! It must have been an incredible sense of awe and wonderment back then! I love Rome ... the only destination in the world I've visited over 10 x. An incredible accomplishment piecing it together like this 👏 thank you 💕
this gives a whole new meaning to "Roma aeterna est"
Yes, I hope!
Looks beautiful and modern. Wish I could have seen ancient Rome and Egypt.
A wonderful experience flying over classical Rome. Thank you!
Thanks!
It’s the most incredible reconstruction of Ancient Rome that I’ve seen!!! Mostly because there are colors! We generally see just the white walls and reddish roofs, but here you made colorful statues, ornaments etc. It looked like a city, not like a model. Amazing job!
Great emotion gives to my self the love for Ancient Rome in all the world! Thanks for all from an italian born in Rome 72 years ago!
"the grandeur that was Rome..."
Magnificent, thanks!
Many thanks. As an architect I am grateful for your work and dedication. I watch these videos connected to my 85 inch TV. Magical. If anyone can get the chance I highly recommend watching on a large screen. Thanks again
Thank you! It i nice to hear that our project is a good looking on a large screen!
Same here! I have an EPSON projector (hooked up to both my laptop and my PS4!), and watch everything that way on a lightweight projector screen mounted flat on the wall at 100". Brilliant images and graphics. I love it! and the sense of scale of these videos. You feel immersed and surrounded within the monyments and structure in that world. People are missing out on such amazing work when watching on small screen. Thank you 'History in 3D'. Your team is awesome!
Brings tears to my eyes. A tribute to everything that was and is Rome.
Thank you!
@@historyin3d You are welcome. Amazing job!
I've been to Rome several delightful times. Well...this just took my breath away. Thank you! Please do other recreations on ancient Rome and please branch out and do ones on ancient Greece, Persia, Babylon, Israel, and Egypt.
Thanks! Our main project is Rome, but several videos for ancient Greece will appear soon as well!
I have been to the Colosseum and Forum Romanum. These buildings were absolutely massive. Like really really big. It`s crazy there is nothing left but a bunch of ruins, but in the end time eats everything.
Time eats everything, but humans too. Most of the old buildings were scavenged for building materials over time, as they decayed.
Imagine seeing Rome in that time period, just have been amazing, incomparable to any other settlement at that time. A true human masterpiece, and brilliantly shown here 👏🏻👏🏻
Carthage or Ancient China would have been comparable but this city molded most of Europe into an empire so this is different.
@@BopWalk Compare China to a city that was the capital of the known world at the time for 5 centuries, lol
@@davidedeluca5809
Ancient China was another massive empire that had a long history as well. They too had their barbarians to fight, their up and downs in economic problems. Good emperors, ruthless emperors, just like Imperial Rome. Think of it as this, Rome had lasting influence in the western world and Ancient China influenced the eastern world.
You say thank you for watching, in return I say thank you for creating it and the hours and detail that must have gone into it.
Sent from The SPQR Historian. This is amazing!! Thank you for sharing this with the world ❤
Edit: I can't believe this is only 40% complete Wow, just wow.
It's amazing how modern ancient Rome looked! Absolutely stunning thank you for the work you put into this project!
What a labor of love - BRAVO! Rome is reputed as the most beautiful city that ever will be, and you have summoned it for all time. I'm sure I saw Ovid and Julia Augusti filia hiding just out of sight.
Thank you so much!
Simply Amazing. With digitalisation everything is virtually possible, from birth to death and beyond
I will just go ahead & accept this as an accurate depiction of Rome at its height. Stunning video. Thank you for this. I love Roman history.
Thanks! Our goal is to perform it as accurate as possible, yeah!
@@historyin3d Looking forward to more.
Such a great job. Whats truly incredible is the fact that I have walked several of these streets and they are still recognisable. Incredible work!
Absolutely stunning. I’ve been to Rome and recognise so many of the buildings and their layout. It’s breathtaking, thank you
Thanks!
Wonderful 3D reconstruction of the city of Rome and beautiful birds-eye view.
Spetacular !!! No words... simply no words... a work that restores my hopes in humanity. And at the last frames, looking at all work yet to be done, I just with I can find a way to help in this project. Most sincere congratulations !!!
Thank you! Feel free to support the project on Patreon if you want! :)
Many nations and their citizens suffered to build Rome. 😢
@@billtribble2904 regarding this aspect, the World hardly changes... Rome, Portugal, Spain, England, France, Otoman Empire, United States, Russia, China... the list of imperialist countries and the humanitarian disasters they provoked is endless...
An amazing piece of work, absolutely stunning. It brings home just what a mind blowing experience it would have been for a ‘barbarian’ from the outer reaches of the Empire on entering Rome for the first time.
i was thinking the same. This would still impress us today, but for someone then, who lived in a gallic or german village, who had just lost a battle against the romans, and then was took to Rome as a captive, it must have been mindblowing. To see something that you didnt even know humans were capable of building!
Egypt was more advanced 4000-2000BC. Babylon too.
We are getting so close where we can recreate Rome and use VR tech to give us a sense of what it was actually like in those times.
Give it another decade or so and with VR, it could look almost real whiles putting us in that world.
Wonderful reconstruction, is the best I ever seen of my town in classic era, thanks!
I've been to Rome a couple of times, its a beautiful City. But seeing what it once was is truly amazing.
Thank you, your video is a fascinating
Most amazing view what Rome appeared like 2000 years ago! Fantastic Job!
I think about ancient Rome every day.
What an incredible experience. Rome has always been on my bucket list, but now it will remain there. My sister worked for nearly three years in Milan and she loved visiting Rome and Venice. I fell in love with Venice when I came over from Vrsar on the hydrofoil in 1981. Thanx for sharing ancient Rome with me.
The most powerful city on earth
Eternal Rome, forever.
@@historyin3d ROMA AETERNA EST!
that's really impressive.. not just the modelling but the amount of research that's gone into it!
That really is an astonishing achievement. Bravo!
Absolutely beautiful 🤩! Incredible Wow 🤩! Splendid these reconstruction of Ancient Rome. Breathtaking view…Thanks for sharing. 👌👍
Wonderful! I've always wanted to travel back in time to ancient Rome, and this is as close as I've been so far. Thank you!
Thanks! I hope this can assist)
Here we are seeing ancient Rome in a way and from a perspective that no Roman of that era ever saw it, no caesar nor anyone else then living. Fantastic!
you wouldn't last a day in ancient Rome ...it wasn't a friendly or safe place...not to speak of the smell or hygiene...reconstructions are always so clean and structured..it wss realy a ramshackle place and you'd have to run for your life
It's great to give people the knowledge of how magnificent Rome was. After the fall of Rome, it took 1500 years for people to learn how to build like that again. No city was as great until maybe the 1800s. Thank you for this video.
khmer empire, aztec anf the mayans?
In Europe: yes (if you consider Constantinople inferior to Rome)
Outside of Europe there were several rivalling Rome - for example Baghdad, Angkor, Kaifeng, Hangzhou and Beijing
OMG - I'm still crying - it's so beautiful
Thanks!
And the Coliseum was almost 300 years old then. Amazing 😮
What an incredible watch, I can't imagine the amount of work that went into making the whole thing possible. Well done, that certainly wasn't built in a day.
Absolutely amazing! To catch a glimpse of the ancient world. What a difference compared to modern Rome. No electrical wires, no signs plastered all over the facades of buildings, like traveling back in time!
Maravilhoso😍!!! Está de parabéns pelo EXCELENTE trabalho em reproduzir a belissima Roma Imperial.🏆🏆🏆
Deu até vontade de voltar no tempo e andar nas ruas da Roma dos Césares.🏘🏛🏘🏛🏘🏛🏘🏛
Thanks! It will be realized, by using 3D apps!
Imagine this being ported to VR. Amazing work. Plain and simply awesome
Stunning video! I would trade 30 years of my life for one hour in the ancient Rome, just to hear the noises, smell the smells, taste the simple foods and mingle with the ordinary people and not the emperors.
Similar, just to see how the baths, palaces, temples etc. were actually decorated! :)
Hard to pick, I know but Circus Maximus is breathtaking. An amazing and beautiful structure.
Превосходная работа! Одно замечание, вернее предложение: хорошо бы добавить названия зданий, над которыми мы виртуально пролетаем (в виде голосовых комментариев или текстовых надписей). С уважением.
Excellent work! One remark, or rather a sentence: it would be nice to add the names of the buildings over which we are virtually flying (in the form of voice comments or text labels). Sincerely.
Woo-hoo, I've signed up on Patreon. Give what you can people! Since visiting Rome last fall, I've become obsessed with these videos, happy to be able to support this amazing initiative.
I really love these 3D visualizations! My only complaint is the lack of identifying names to help orient what we're looking at. I recognize many of the Forum buildings and of course, the Colosseum, but it was hard to identify locations where flyovers started from various directions in the city. Overall, great stuff, though!
The names of the best restaurants and espresso cafes would be helpful as well.
What an impossibly fabulous city for that time. Would love a guided tour via voice over.
What a tremendous job you've done!
I hope yes! Thanks!
I had No Idea that the architecture back then was so advanced! Heck, I don't think modern cities today could compete with ancient Rome. It is amazing and very enlightening to say the least. Wow, to have lived then and walked down the streets. Thanks for the video!
That was extraordinary, what a wonderful tour you've just given me. Wow!
Having visited Rome on several occasions (I actually got married there), I can only say that this is breath-taking. To see The Pantheon, Circus Maximus and the layout of buildings along the Tiber, is spectacular. This should be included as an App, so that visitors can really appreciate the splendour. 👊🇮🇪
That's the irish flag🇮🇪🇮🇹
@@galbatorix060 Yeah! I'm commenting from Ireland ✌💚☘
Terrific work! If I had a request, maybe you could do a recreation of Pompeii/Herculaneum at the time of the Vesuvius eruption, and as the event transpired?
Thanks! But haven't you seen this peace of art already done: ruclips.net/video/dY_3ggKg0Bc/видео.html
This is absolutely amazing! The incredible detail is just mind boggling. Thank you for your meticulous attention to detail and your dedication to this project for the benefit of all of us. You share a true connection with Rome that very few of us will ever get to experience.
Rome was truly an amazing city for its time and even today! Excellent recreation! This just earned you a new sub.
What a stunning amount of work has gone into this enormous 3D model. I applaud!
Life back then was more rough but certainly had more beauty!
What a masterpiece! So intriguing to watch this! What a great magnanimous deed you have done for all! I look forward to viewing more. It's mind-boggling to think about how you even go about so accurately laying out Rome. I'm glad you used "AD" dating as I still don't understand BCE. Thanks!
Breathtaking view. Not only construction skills, but also project management to have such a city exist in such long time ago is stunning. In my country we were still living in houses made of straw and eating acorn and shellfish. Most amazing thing is that when we visit Rome and some other places in southern Europe today, we can kind of feel the cities of that ancient time. Roman Empire legacy can be found not only in Italy but also in Spain.
Amazing. A version with commentary (spoken or written) would be great!
wow, it looked so modern, I'm surprised not to see TV antennas on the roofs and cars in the streets!
Lol, thanks)
Amazing work! Will it be possible to walk the streets in VR eventually?
I want to know the same
Stunning work. The only thing is missing here are labels. I've recognized Forum Romanum, Trajan's and Ceasar's, Capitol and Palatin Hills, Colosseum obviously, Circus Maximus, Nero statue, Pantheon and Campus Martius.
Excelente video.... Muchísimas gracias por compartir...!!! Ansioso por la continuación... Saludos desde Uruguay...!!!
Thanks! Greetings from Serbia!
No electricity, no modern tools, no plumbing, and yet it rivals our cities of today for its beauty. Thank you for those who put this together.
Very fascinating!
I'd be very interested to see a video where you tell us about some of the hard decisions you have had to make in order to go from a patchy archeological and historical record to something like this.
Thanks! Such kind of videos will appear soon, as well!
A beautiful day in ancient Rome, minus the people! What a beautiful place it must have been. Of course, I love it as it is today as well.
Magnificent! If you had an insert showing the location and direction of the camera on a top-down map, that would be helpful, along with identifying major structures/locations as others have suggested. Awesome!
Incredible. I have visited the Colosseum and the Forum Romana a few times and been very impressed. This amazing video brings the full magnificence of the Roman buildings to our screens. Love it and the great memories it brought back to me.
Always a pleasure to admire your creative and immersive work!👍👍
Always a pleasure to read positive comments!
The start of the song reminded me of the start of "Sir Orfeo" by Rone. They're different, it's more about the choice of instruments. Reminiscent of water drops falling in an ice-cavern lake, with wavering light reflected from its ripples kaleidoscoping across the walls.
Amazing video, thanks for your time & effort in producing this ... ( not many Roman citizens out & about though, must have been another full lockdown ! 😂)
Thank you! The model will be populated, gradually))
This is your best video so far! Keep up the good work guys!
I wish the reconstruction had details/descriptions of builds we were flying over. I managed to recognize only of them: the Imperator palace and the Senate building. Fairly, I'm not sure that I'm right.
P.S. And Colosseum .
This is fantastic. The only addition I was suggest is computer generated crowds to make the city feel alive in the presentation. Like when you passed over the hippodrome it would be cool to see a race occurring etc…
As a Roman "de Roma" I can’t help but get excited at the sight of such beauty... THANK YOU! May I suggest something? Perhaps a compass indicating the various positions might help. It would help a lot, in my opinion, to better understand where the great monuments are located and the life around them. Anyway, THANK YOU!!!
Whoever did this is an absolute genius, just an artistic genius without parallel. This is the closest a modern person can get to the glory that was Rome. If I only had a time machine.....
WONDERFUL! Wish the names of the significant buildings would be given as well.
Thanks! It was a trailer, please watch other our more detailed videos! :)
Extraordinary achievements - Rome; your reconstruction if it. Thank you. Magnificent
Inspiring, evocative, wonderful. Thanks for your work.
Thank you!
It was so densely populated! And the buildings placed at so many angles. Each one magnificent.
A notification I am always excited to see!
Wow thank you!
Amazing. Loved the morning haze. Played it back at 1/2 speed
Maravilhosa reconstituição. Roma é eternamente linda.
I read on "One day in the ancient Rome" written by Alberto Angela, about a 6 floors building, and I see it here! Fantastic work!!!
