Ancient Rome in 3D - Temple of Venus and Roma, detailed 3D reconstruction

[@silviunikita]

Amazing reconstruction, going even beyond imagination as ancient Rome must have usually been. Congratulations, it is worth every second you spent working on it.

[@historyin3d]

Thank you! Happy to hear!

[@greggapowell67]

Magnificent. I hope I see the day in my lifetime when I can walk through a complete and accurate digitaled recreation of Rome in High Resolution VR.

Me too my fellow lover of ancient Roman history. Roma aeterna, Roma victrix!!

[@simplepixel5617]

I'm gonna go this week to the Temple of Venus and show this video to my wife while being there, to show her how this building looked. Thank you!

[@alexball3642]

Could you imagine a building like that in the Rome we have today, Splendid piece of architecture!

[@fabiochies3970]

You kinda have that in Rome. Have you gone to San Peter's Basilica? It gives you a fantastic ideia how Ancient Rome was.

[@UnchartedRuins]

Fantastic reconstruction! Thank you! 🤩

[@anthonyhamline1030]

Thank you. Also, the fade in/out of new to old really helps visualize for those of us who have been there (multiple times) but still have problems placing things.

[@BardCanning]

How can such an ancient city be more spectacular than many today? Their dedication using simpler tools is beyond imagining.

[@roncaruso931]

The Romans were expert architects and engineers.

[@user-uf2df6zf5w]

It has more to do with us today abandoning all standarts of objective beauty as a culture. Therefore most of the stuff we build is soulless and unimaginative.

[@DrMARDOC]

I am so grateful for this! I am an old man now, and have wondered about this since I was 8 years old. I told my parents that I would love to have been in Ancient Rome. My dad said;” you couldn’t have handled the overwhelming stenches and awful smells”

[@walterclaycooke]

Rome needs to reconstruct this temple in all its glory. Would make a terrific tourist attraction and example of Roman architectural excellence.

[@Romalvx]

It would be amazing but international laws about heritage are against any reconstruction, on the grounds that 1. it is necessary to show the history of the monument, therefore also its destruction is considered history and 2. the few remaining parts of the original building may not be strong enough to be incorporated in a modern building.

[@jec1ny]

Modern building codes would be a major obstacle. Most of the decor was done by hand. The skills needed for that kind of work are mostly now lost to history. The expense would be incalculable. Rome had the advantage of drowning in wealth from conquered lands and the availability of slave labor. And as noted above, it could not be done w/o irreparably harming what was left of the original structure.

[@Marcos5pb]

Roman architecture, which was actually influenced by Greek architecture!

[@Romalvx]

@@Marcos5pb What you state is undeniably true, but it is also possible to say that Roman+ Greek cultures together blended in what we call “Classical” culture, which had a great range of influence all across the world.

[@lyricofwise6894]

​@@Marcos5pbobviously lol no one denys the copy paste of the style, but some parts were distinctly roman/new

The industriousness of Middle Ages and Renaissance Romans in despoiling/ scavenging their ancient heritage is truly amazing! Such minute scraps left of monumental buildings. They were very thorough.

[@joedino5774]

It's disappointing that so many of these beautiful buildings are gone today.

[@sterrnerdeem4979]

Give thanks to Christianity in Greece for not wanting to rebuild the Parthenon. Also, Rome is very Christianized, the reconstruction of these buildings (for religious purposes) will never come to fruition.

[@lucioferox7549]

Christianity utterly demolished Rome

[@m.boivin8671]

@@lucioferox7549 Not only Rome, also Tenochtitlan, Aztec city, today Mexico City, including the Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City in its initial construction, was with the stones of the destroyed temple of the god Huitzilopochtli, god of war and main deity of the Mexica, in 1524.

[@lucioferox7549]

@@m.boivin8671 Oh yes don't even tell me that it breaks my heart. Christianity destroyed the world's greatest art and architecture all across the globe, what the Spanish did in Tenochtitlan was the same they did in south Italy and Sicily to the ancient greek remains to build their stupid castles and fortresses, same goes for what Normans and Christian fanatic Roman Emperors and popes, likke the devil Theodosius the 'Great'

[@m.boivin8671]

@@lucioferox7549 Perhaps Christianity has destroyed architectural and artistic works in the name of its doctrine and beliefs, but the current heritage of the Roman Catholic Church in architecture and art is immeasurable. You have to admit it. Examples include St. Peter's in Rome in the Vatican, Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque cathedrals in Catholic countries in Europe and Latin America.

I get the impression from this video that the pediment sculpture is very similar for both pediments - and that Venus is central to both.

You may have touched upon this in other comments, video or posts, but what sources do you use to figure out what statues would have been used, colour schemes, detaild and more? I'm very curious.

[@user-bf8ud9vt5b]

Wow.

[@busterbiloxi3833]

Outstanding!

[@cocconi2020]

Exellent. I would like to know more about the dedtruction af the temple , how or who was responsible for the finals stage of the temple.

[@septimiusseverus343]

The Temple was most likely stripped of its treasures, ornamentation and statues either during the sack of 410, or the sack of 455. I'm betting on the latter, as the Vandal sack was of longer duration (2 weeks) and more thorough than that of the Visigoths (3 days). The fabric of the building remained intact, and King Theodoric of the Ostrogoths ordered the facade to be restored in the early 500s. As the narrator described, the bronze roof tiles were confiscated in the early 7th century. The structure was wrecked beyond repair in the 9th century, most likely during the massive earthquake of 847 (which also heavily damaged the Basilica of Maxentius), and during the Renaissance the marble of the building was melted in lime kilns to build other structures. The columns would have been repurposed as well.

Wonderful video! - I wonder if Hadrian wanted to equal or surpass the great temple of Artemis at Ephesus?

[@Lord_Merterus]

It was more than likely made to compete with the Temple of Apollo Didymaios, another enormous temple in Ionia. Both buildings were decastyle and had almost the exact same dimensions, with the Didymaion being slightly bigger.

Almost like Notre Dame burned.

[@62adrianm]

[@sterrnerdeem4979]

because many people who succumb to the abrahamic faiths want to deny people from having this. they don't want these temples, built by and led by pagans to come back. That or because it's damn expensive and we probably don't have the precision to make these again, or because they don't want to in general.

Fantastic! The public buildings of ancient Roma are not surpassed by modern nations. There is no longer dedication to national glory through architecture. The fascist regimes of Italy and Germany in the 1930s planned to prioritise this kind of construction.
