Roma Then e now

[@joyrod6302]

I am from Rome and had no idea how beautiful it was. I feel like crying comparing how it was then and how it is now... dirty and neglected. Thank you for your reconstruction... amazing!

[@kaloarepo288]

Yes but don't forget that these replicas are totally idealized images and clinically correct reproductions -the reality of ancient Rome would have been very very different with probably about 80% of the city being made of grubby tenement buildings and squalid slums -these things in this video are only the grand public buildings in perfect states of conservation minus any deteriorations!Most of ancient Rome away from the public grandeur would have been as grubby as it is today(If indeed it is grubby -I haven't been there for over 30 years!)

[@ПетроВальцман-ф6в]

Rome must be rebuilt, the Germans must pay for it!

[@SNP-1999]

It must have been so amazing, a true world wonder in its own catgeory, full of outstanding architecture and works of art - the destruction of this beautiful city was truly the most horrific act of vandalism in human history. How I wish for a time machine, if only to visit Rome of this era for one single day !

For years and years I have wished I could see a video such as this. The Italians were able to design and build proportional elegance on an astonishing scale but without losing the simple touch. Not long ago I saw a similar video about the look and feel of the city of Pompeii before 79 A.D. The interiors of the homes looked more inviting, comfortable and harmonious than the homes of today. Amazing.

[@elenamartinez9896]

Roma es espectacular, ayer, hoy y siempre. Ninguna otra puede competir con ella en historia y en belleza. Es mi ciudad preferida en el mundo. Sería maravilloso que reconstruyeran muchos de sus edificios y monumentos, para que el mundo vuelva a verlos con todo su esplendor. Gracias por este estupendo video. Un saludo desde Cuenca (España)

[@janeyre82]

Reconstruirlos sería inútul y sin sentido, porque estarían fuera de su época. El mundo, el pensamiento y la conciencia de los que surgieron esos edificios simplemente no existen más. Lo que sí se puede hacer es proteger los rasgos de lo que fuimos, aprender de ellos a enfrentarnos a lo que somos. En la Roma antigua se destrozaba y reconstruía continuamente, la belleza y la eficiencia eran conceptos cíclicos de renovación y perfeccionamiento perpetuos, desmontando y volviendo a montar de otra forma, una y otra vez. La idea de conservación ni siquiera se le ocurría: la gracia y la majestuosidad existían de por si mismas, en el momento de su creación y aprovechamiento público o particular. Lo que vemos hoy en esas ruínas no es nada más que las últimas fotografías de una Roma que por un tanto así no le alcanzó el tiempo para cambiar de nuevo y convertirse en otra cosa: si el destino y la Historia la hubieran atrapallado aun sólo un siglo más tarde de lo que fue, ahora estaríamos viendo y adorando una ciudad muy diferente. Ésta es la primera lección que nos han dejado, quizás la más importante.

[@Bobibion]

Correcto. Mantener todo en un estado "democratico" y mercantiista, no es bello. Para los que creen que reconstruir es inutil, prueben a usar el mismo traje todo el año, todos los años, a ver si les agrada. Se dejarian los originales en su lugar, pero se reconstruirán los faltantes. A la gente que se metio alli como ra tas, los trasladaria sin costo a unos edificios de departamentos lejos de esas bellezas, quizas tambien con una linea de Metro. Viste?

@@Bobibion no te entendí nada, te podés expresar con claridad porfavor? Que dijiste?

[@texanforeverthompson3645]

First rate. Rome was the first "modern" civilization. So elegant. They almost discovered steam power, which would have added a whole new dimension. Their architecture, developed from Greek, was marvelous.

[@innosanto]

Steam power? Was invented by Greeks, during Classical times, example: the Hydraulis steam organ (which would later be named Religious organ in Western Europe), in Syacuse during Classical times the Hydraulic Clock of Archimedes, also, during Roman times, but in the Greek then center of Alexandria, Hero made the aeolipile to generate movement from steam (his sphere turned at 1500 turns per minute), and also the static Hero's theatre. Also Hero designed automatic doors opening and closing for a temple and designs have been found but not know if it was constructed. And a primitive robot-automaton. The first known working automaton-robot though is again by Greeks in Eastern Roman empire in Byzantium because they inherited some of the knowledge that was built in Alexandria. Most parts of the far engine, the pulleys, valves, steam generated turnaround etc were invented in ancient Greece. If not for the Christian disruption the car would have probably come up, and the train-railway (there was rudimentary built "railway" like road to move ships to the other side through trunks in Corinth where there is the canal now, the Doikos), if things that is progressed at a positive pace, many centuries earlier.

[@manuelemariani8188]

They used wireless energy. Ether

[@HostileLemons]

@@manuelemariani8188 yeah and the latest Toyota Corolla too....

[@LordWyatt]

innosanto You nailed it except for the blame on the Christians. I blame the corrupt leaders of Late Antiquity/Early Middle Ages. They didn’t pursue steam power because they depended on slave labor and monks continued literacy while the peasantry (99% descended from slaves/serfs/peasants/soldiers) didn’t have a chance to learn it from corrupt Monarchies and Church Leaders more concerned with politics than Theology.

[@HostileLemons]

[@eilyeungcy]

I applause to the production team who worked so hard to make this video. I am an Art Historian who always admire the "modern sense' of Ancient Rome. To a certain extend, the Roman architectures are so much more aesthetically appealing then the nowadays ones. Regretfully, I was born 2000 years later, and thanks to this video, I can put myself back there to visualize as a Roman citizen (or a slave girl!😅),on the city lifestyle they were having. Love this video a lot, and thanks the production crews again!👍👍👍❤

There will never be anything like it. The art and architecture was astounding!

[@bombasticbushkin4985]

This time in history is fascinating. These buildings were often tightly packed, "streets" traversed by people and horses. It would be wonderful to restore Rome to it's glory in many ways. But it was a time of extravagant empire and luxury. The cost would be astronomical and essentially impossible. The architecture was magnificent and regal unmatched in scope to this day. If even a few buildings, statues, fountains and effects could be renewed that would be a fine achievement. Of course, the centerpiece Colosseum completely restored would top off a wonderful project.

pensa che quasi alla fine del 1400 il Foro Romano era quasi integro,poi sono cominciate le ruberie.Nel 1499 fu demolita la piramide che stava all'inizio della futura Via della Conciliazione,per la costruzione di S.Pietro,era d'impiccio ai carri,e verso la metà del 1500 furono demolite altre 2 piramidi a (futura)Piazza del Popolo x l'erezione delle chiese gemelle.Quando fu eletto papa SistoV° nel 1585 voleva demolire il Colosseo x la costruzioe di una strada tra la basilica di S.Giovanni e S.Pietro ma morì nel 1590 e x nostra fortuna la cosa non ebbe seguito,altrimenti noi non l'avremmo mai visto

We get a glimpse of it when we see the Circus Maximus, but it deserves a lot more attention!!! It was one of the oldest temples in the city, as well as the destination of triumphal processions.

It will be very interesting to see a 3D restoration of a Thracian city. I live in the Thracian lowlands, Bulgaria, Stara Zagora - the Thracian name Beroe. The city was part of the Roman Empire named Augusta-Trayana, we have a preserved Roman road with an amphitheater at the end. Any part of us history,will be interesting because there is very little effort in this direction in Bulgaria. And the European capital of culture Plovdiv is known as Philippopolis is 100 km from Stara Zagora. We have a lot to show.
