Ancient Rome in 3D - Detailed virtual reconstruction. Real colors. 2023 year progress.

#ancient #Rome #3D
Explore our virtual 3D reconstruction of ancient Rome as it looked in the mid-4th century CE, around year 360, at the turn of the Pagan and Christian eras.
We are the "History in 3D" team and our goal is to create the most detailed, accurate and complete 3D reconstruction of ancient Rome.
In this video we show the most significant places in the center of the Eternal City and speak about the progress of our project during 2023. Particular attention was paid to the details of the Colosseum, the Capitoline hill, as well as the luxurious interiors of the Basilica of Maxentius and the Temple of Venus and Roma. We are adding more colorful realistic elements - painted statues, reliefs and ornaments, colored plaster, rich varieties of marble.

It's a great honor for me that you recommended my channel at the very beginning of your wonderful video! Thank you for the support you have shown me from the very beginning ❤️✌️ I wish you a Happy New Year! THANK YOU🎉

I’d go back and help my ancestors SACK it again !!! … the ancient Romans were arrogant bullies that killed millions of people and subjugated the survivors !!!

[@ryanradpictures]

Absolutely mesmerizing! This virtual 3D reconstruction of ancient Rome is a true masterpiece. The "History in 3D" team has flawlessly captured the essence of the mid-4th century CE, showcasing the iconic landmarks of the Eternal City. The attention to detail in the Colosseum, Capitoline hill, Basilica of Maxentius, and Temple of Venus and Roma is truly impressive. The addition of colorful elements like painted statues and reliefs adds a vibrant touch. Thank you for sharing your incredible progress with us. I'm eagerly looking forward to more stunning updates from your project!

[@historyin3d]

@@Armis71 yes, quite a hard and long process. But we won’t abandon it.

[@Armis71]

@historyin3d Great! The main reason many people are asking for VR is that you're not limited on just certain views. With VR, you can stand anywhere you want and view Rome at any angle you want. You can fly, hover, walk the streets. It's going to be amazing!

[@ull474]

Great to see it in colour, the Romans were quite the architects of Europe.

Thank you!

[@Maiorianus_Sebastian]

Your recreation of ancient Rome is by far the most accurate and detailed that I have ever seen. You are doing a great job for all people who want to learn more about how the city of Rome looked during its peak. Thank you very much for all the work you put into this excellent 3D model, and all the best from Maiorianus.

I am writing a book set in Rome between AD 47-62, but this reconstruction is still extremely useful to me. Thank you for all the work you have done to incorporate the latest knowledge about the city into this visualization of it.

[@divinadecosio]

I have watched this video several times and during each one I discover new details. My deepest gratitude to you for recreating the mighty Rome, its influence still rules the world. Such a beautiful city!! The roman arquitects and engineers were the best.

[@shakesperezen6078]

As a lifelong seeker of everything history..and from my earliest childhood..I have wanted to set my eyes upon the works and wonders of the ancients. Roman, Greek and Egyptian histories were my very first primary school history lessons,and I had a woman history teacher who told history and history's stories from a human point of view and with all calm dedicated human heart..she was the best history teacher I could have ever imagined..she taught our class so well that she had 8 year olds in absolute awe for everything history..and..as a wonderful teacher she had time for any and all enquiries from eager to learn questioning young minds..even if she was on lunch break. A teacher worthy of praise love and much respect..then..now..and forever always. This gentle calming voiced intelligent sweet souled woman was the spark that ignited many of my classmates fire for all things history..a warming learned fire that still glows fierce and warm in our spirits to this very day. Thankyou for sparking the kindling teach..knowledge seeking still glows bright in a new 21st digital world. 🤘🙂💜 And I love discovering this channel just today..your works are incredible and inspiring to the young mind who grew to an adult who continues to seek out all things history,especially my favourite three time periods. I would love to see the ship building areas and docks for the Roman fleet..and.even the merchant shipping...if possible?.please??? Just a thought from a adult history fiend with still the spirit of a lad within. Great Channel people..keep up the most excellent work..liked immediately.. Subbed instantly.🤘😁♥(/-\)..

[@mhairiwhite6990]

This is incredible. As a classics student it was a real eye-opener to see buildings reconstructed that I've literally just been studying for my course! 👏 👏 👏 ❤

[@historyin3d]

Thanks, nice to hear!

[@scrubjay93]

Beautiful! Imagine being able to walk through in VR, with sounds of people and birds flying around. I wish I could be transported to some stone steps in the shade of an Italian stone pine to read a book all day😊

[@flaviosanna9803]

You guys have done an amazing job. It seems so realistic!

[@historyin3d]

Thanks!

[@Granuaile1]

I really love these videos. As a reasonably frequent visitor to Rome I love trying to visualise where I would be and what it would look like if I could be transported back in time. I wonder if it would be possible to sometimes overlay a map of the modern city just in order to clarify exactly where each monument etc is/was in relation to where we stand today. Watching the video can be a bit confusing especially when the camera flies around and changes direction quickly. But these videos are just breathtaking! Thank you!

[@historyin3d]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@josephbingham1255]

A challenging and beautiful work. I met an elementary school teacher who upon her return from a trip to Rome set to work telling ever class she had after that how great Rome was. Apparently she though if she lived in those days she would live in a villa with slaves waiting on her - rather then being one.

[@historyin3d]

Thank you! Rome was indeed the great civilization with own flaws.

[@aeternitasromae]

Fantastic and incredible as always. Keep up the amazing work guys.

Rome wasn't built in a day, nor should a virtual reconstruction. Nice progress so far.👍

[@historyin3d]

Very true! Thanks!

[@Mossy-Rock]

This is stunning! I never really stopped to really think about the implications of this: the styling, elegance, massiveness, and details put nearly all of our current architecture to shame. What we build or make now rots (wood), rusts (metal) or breaks (plastic) and has a very limited life-span. I know it's all about cost savings and short-term profits, but I see stone and brick buildings from the 1600s and 1700s in my area that are still intact and being used. Stone isn't a good choice in areas with earthquakes, though.

[@david1george]

Hopefully someday they will able to build actual 3d printed models of most of this and be placed it in Rome. They do have massive parks in Rome like Villa Ada that is 180 hectares in size. Hopefully they will be able to fund it but with 3d printing should not be too expensive. Now a days they use recicled plastic utencils as an excellent material to create its bead.
