Rick Steves Art of Ancient Rome

Rick Steves' Europe © 2023 | The Romans gave Europe its first taste of a common culture-and awe-inspiring art. From its groundbreaking architecture to its statues, mosaics, and frescos, Rome engineered bigger and better than anyone before. At its peak, the Roman Empire was a society of unprecedented luxury, with colossal arenas for entertaining the masses and giant monuments to egotistical emperors. And then it fell.  Find names and locations for works of art listed in the script at www.ricksteves.com/watch-read... #ricksteves #rickstevesart #arthistory

Ancient Rome...great art and architecture and Rick Steves...doesn't get better than that

Anthropology, architecture, art, engineering...a superb hour.

[@oscartorres7058]

Missing the iconic intro music but loving the content! I got comfortable in my recliner with a cup of coffee to get enriched by some Roman history and fine art!❤

Love this man and his passion for Rome ❤

[@SM16]

Hello this is a favorite new video, Thank you. So glad to see you're still out there traveling on the go, good for you. I have learned so much from you over the decades, I have really enjoyed traveling around the globe w/ you. 💞🌏

[@cheeseborgors]

How often do you think Rick Steves thinks about the Roman Empire?

[@dewuster8885]

He thinks about how he can best present the Roman Empire’s greatness everyday probably. And whenever he does present the Roman Empire, he knocks it out the park!

[@rebeccacampbell8020]

Probably as often as he thinks of you, after he finishes a very interesting a beautiful program about Roman art and moves on to other wonderful presentations.

[@raymondrothenwander1943]

While he's there and before their shoot.

[@kenichinishikawa7007]

It is very interesting in snow. It is beautiful. I went to Hikone Higashi high school and castle and Genkyuen very well. All scenery is very different in snow.

[@maddietighe5881]

[@SergioGonzalez-ct4xe]

[@SalemHill]

Holy cow, almost a whole hour!👍

[@deborahfraser9325]

Excellent video.

[@MedusaJellyFish300]

I love it. I love your work. You have such a good voice, narrator. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video about the Rome Culture...🎉❤🎉❤🎉

[@cherylnagy126]

luv the Etruscans

[@lazios]

The Colosseum has Greek ornaments (the columns) but the structure is entirely Roman or, to put it better, Etruscan: the arch (or rather, the arches).

[@muhammadaminkhan2249]

Great Rome and Faras ( Iran up to Uzbekistan etc were conquered at the time when islam spread . Mr Steve makes great informative videos ....

[@Mojo-IRE]

Problem one of the best channels on YT. Been subscribed for years. Delighted there's new videos out.

[@israel_started_it_ALL_in_1947]

wow

[@warrenfourie511]

My biggest quibble is that he mixes up the fall of the western empire with the fall of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire continued until 1453 in the east.

[@yvonnerogers6429]

👍🏻

[@cherylnagy126]

Constantine eventually realized that that the worship of a myriad of gods and religions led to a fragmentation of social cohesion

[@robertwolff3221]

Does everyone clear out when Steves shows up? 🤔

[@hnaves]

Marcus Aurelius egotistical? If you had picked Nero, Caligula, or Commodus, I would agree…

[@lateonaname]

Honestly I’ve found this completely disappointing, I expected an understanding of classicism and it hasn’t presented itself yet a third through ….

[@cherylnagy126]

"a society of unprecedented Luxury"

[@papertoyss]

The statue of the sitting boxer is Greek though, not Roman.

[@Bahureksa.Jagarekca]

The world nowadays aren't match today..

[@suesmith9665]
