Imagine your a Roman in the colosseum in 330 C.E. and all of a sudden some dude wearing a t shirt shorts and a hat saying “I ❤️ KZbin” walks in the colosseum and starts looking around.

[@JasonJason210]

Great stuff. I wish there were a highly detailed recreation of the ancient city of Rome, accurately researched, that we could just explore on a PC - with graphics like Witcher 3.

[@Animationstudiotoronto]

Thanks Jason. Dr Bernard Fischer and his team has created an accurately researched model of Ancient Rome, kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5DTmZ14Zp6Ne8k

[@markohen]

Can't Radical Impact get together with Dr Fischer and his team and produce an interactive VR version of his model of Ancient Rome? That would offer such an awesome experience!

[@michaelsmusicinstruments9980]

hi Antonio, I recently did a colosseo animation, but I really did not think about it. very interesting fact. I think the sanitary facilities may have been located on the ground floor, or do you have more detailed info sources?

[@mimicallsit7675]

I recently toured the Colosseum while in Rome. There told us there were large joint latrines that had draining tunnels attached

[@Emper0rH0rde]

Well, we know for certain they didn't have transgender bathrooms in ancient times.

[@shable1436]

You should study more, there was lots of transvestites in Rome, they even had gay bars then, and even a emperor dressed in drag. Im straight male, but know this history, so just as much as bloodsport was common, so 2as society in its openness of sexuality and labels didn't become a thing until after Christianity and the family structure we know today was formed, and the bible stating how wrong homosexuality is. Remember these times every male was to serve in legions and go away, some with family, some not and those away on campaigns were know known to be close to their brethren in more ways than one, this was not just ancient greek things but has a long history of what todays society considers wrong, and morals are very different from back then.

[@joannesmith1175]

The city in ancient times was much more beautiful than today, you can feel every fibre of it's vibrant culture with every breath you take.

This is so bloody cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you guys so much

[@umerfarooq1725]

@DutchAirsoftPlayer, glad you liked it. We tried to keep this project true to History. We will incorporate the statues as well. They were causing optimization issues with the rift so we decided to leave them for the next iteration

[@DamonNomad82]

I would love to see a re-creation of one of the sea battles they staged...

[@christianpatriot7439]

I wish somebody would do a video simulation showing the internal corridors and vaulting that supported the seats. The floorplan of the place gets lost in the ruins.

[@jenniferstenberg8469]

It would be awesome if you could make this into a 360 video where you can look around, just suggestion! :)

They don´t teach history anymore. They´re too concerned that some innocuous facts could offend or trigger someone.

Wheres the statues in the arches ?

[@glorioussoapbox]

Amazing stuff. Fantastic work :)

[@artificialintelligence0101]

Why not remake it?

[@yellowpepperpot5294]

Well done. One small discomfort is that it jerks about. Can this be rectified.?

[@GoodVideos4]

I was wondering what was that monument, outside the Colosseum, in front of that triumphal arch one. The video focused on it for awhile at the end. I've also seen other reconstruction pictures of ancient Rome, the city, showing it, but at another location (unless it's another one). Come to think of it, I'm by Cape Town, South Africa. On reconstruction pictures of Cape Town a few centuries ago it shows that same type of monument. It should be reconstructed at both locations. On that Rome one, of the other location, there isn't anything on that spot now.

[@bobhartwick]

The tall cone is the Meta Sudans (the "sweating turn point"). It was a fountain built soon after the amphitheater that marked the turn point for triumphal processions to head up the Via Sacra into the Forum. ( a meta cone was at each end of the central dividing 'spina' in the Circus Maximus, so racing chariots knew where to turn - see Ben Hur). Water emerged near the top and trickled down over the cone (hence "sweating"). Remnants of it still existed into the 20th century till Mussolini had it bulldozed so Fiats could race each other around 'il Colosseo'. Today the Fiats are kicked out, and tourists stroll around its re-excavated foundation.

What's the huge palace called which lies behind the colosseum? I've been in Rome but the black statue and that palace were not there. I remeber I knew that the black statue had been destructed in the course of the history.

Oh yes it is time to rebuild it. The time has come.

Is it possible to get this anywhere? This looks amazing, but I have searched and Googled, and cant find anywhere we can Download, or buy this. Thanks.

[@Animationstudiotoronto]

Lullaby . Thanks for liking. This experience is created specifically for museums. Currently it is running in Houston Museum of Natural Sciences.

[@DaynJo]

Hey and thank yo for the ultra speedy reply. Do you have any plans on releasing it for public purchase. Either on Steam, or through your own website? As not everyone owns a VR HMD, and so it would still be superb for all the visitors to museums? Thanks.

[@sachseco]

WHY NOT TELL THE BUILDING WAS FIRST KNOWN AS THE "FLAVIAN AMPHITHEATRE"

[@Jay-n262]

If I could go back in a time machine this would be it. Ancient Rome is fascinating.

[@jaelge]

I´d go with you as long as I was guaranteed to be a wealthy citizen and it was during the reign of Octavian Augustus. No Flavian Amphitheatre (Coliseum) at this time but it was likely the most peaceful and prosperous time to be a free wealthy Roman.

[@constantinmironov7369]

[@boredgrindmtb8540]

did someone MC one of these events without a microphone? I'm expecting some kind of sound engineered room that the MC sits in and it echos his voice throughout the entire coliseum lol. thats my best guess

If you actually visit the Colosseum and go through the museum you can see a model of the way it looked, the roof they show correctly. Your representation of the roof is rather like that in the movie Gladiator, which is completely wrong.

The ring wall seems to low. A tiger or lion fighting against humans in those days could easily jump over this simulated wall and maul the crowd to death. Also, the ring ground is too round. The real Colosseum floor is more oval.
