Virtual Ancient Rome in 3D - Baths of Caracalla, 13 minute detailed video tour

We invite you to expore our 3D reconstruction of famous baths of Caracalla - one of the most magnificent and enormous buildings of ancient Rome. During the 13 minutes we will walk around outside and inside, and visit the most interesting locations - open swimming pool, cold, warm and hot baths, as well as enjoy walking in the gardens outside.
Our goal is to create the most extensive, detailed and accurate virtual 3D reconstruction of the Eternal City. And this reconstruction is one of the most important parts of it. We're presenting the 2.0 edition (the 1.0 was long ago, in 2012), and I hope we have done much improvement in accuracy and realistic details of the baths. However, it is not the final result for sure, we will be improving this 3D reconstruction further, correcting something, adding details, according with the new data investigations.

[@bullzdawguk]

That's Roman architecture for you, they don't fail to impress and leave you awestruck. Style and aesthetics are key to its success. The golden ratio, which is used in ancient classical architecture is akin to Feng Sui, I reckon, since it looks and feels naturally balanced. Also, the bold and monumental style reflects Roman confidence, dominance, ability, and most of all, power. Architecture is ideal propaganda, even if it's subliminal.

[@robbieevans6536]

Incredible...Would have been nice to have some people in their to give more perspective of the size.

Such a magnificently luxurious structure for what I would expect is at most a few hundred potential users! Such decadence. Also the engineering required to have clean hygienic water without chemicals like chlorine and electricity. Mind boggling.

[@sylviakranz519]

The baths could accommodate up to 1,600 people at a time, 8,000 a day. They were opened to all people including enslaved people. A lot of apartments had running and toilets, no bath.
