Could you imagine looking at this statue during the early 300s, it would have been a marvel! Also great video, great energy, and great camera angles. This is quickly becoming my favorite channel.

Exactly! If you put everything into the perspective of back then, it is even more mindblowing! 🤩 thank you so much! 😊🙌

A wonderful reconstruction of the ancient statute. Especially with original pieces.

I have seen the fragments of the statue on my several trips to Rome, but it was for me simply fragments. This reconstruction always me to see what it was like. Thank you from NYC 🗽

This is really interesting because there seems to be a new way of dealing with history, more engaged and less treating ourselves as unworthy to be working in that way. Instead acknowledging their and our limitations and abilities equally.

Fascinating!!! I knew they were doing a reconstruction--so it's intriguing to see the finished work in place.

I still think they should've placed it in the Basilica of Maxentius. That would be soo epic. But anyways, I love the reconstructed colossus. Fun fact: the original statue wasn't made for Constantine, but for Maxentius and after Constantine conquered Rome, the head of the statue was altered to resemble him instead. Just like the Basilica it stood in was started by Maxentius and finished and dedicated by Constantine, whose name it bore from then on. Many early accomplishments of Constantine were kind of stolen from Maxentius, whom I also deem the more worthy ruler of Rome.

I think it’s great. So many times, we don’t even know what we are looking at when we pass by history. This makes you appreciate the art and skills way back then. It also makes you question if there was technology that was wiped out completely, because Ancient Rome was such a beautiful city with beautiful structures and amazing architecture. And also all that marble came in from Africa. How did they move all that back then?! It’s really amazing to think about. This is such a great channel and I always go through it before I visit Rome to learn and see so many things I wouldn’t have known about.

Didn't the Romans source a lot of their marble from Greece and from quarry outside of Carrara in northern Tuscany? The "exotic" marble came from North Africa.

@LiveVirtualGuide 8 ай бұрын

That is very true! These types of reconstructions help us “fill the gaps” where our imagination struggles to arrive. The Romans imported their marbles from all over the empire: Africa, Middle East, Greece.. and also from some quarries in the Italian peninsula. They transported those marble through boats, and cranes.. they had very smart and sophisticated tools, which do not differ so much from what are in use today. Right now there is an exhibition inside the Colosseum, about Trajan’s column, where they very clearly show how they physically cut and transported those giant blocks of marbles. If you’re going to be in Rome any time soon (before April 30th), we recommend checking that exhibit 😉

I've seen the original pieces and looking forward to see the statue in my next visit soon. My feelings about it are mixed, it looks artificial to me. I hope they won't recreate the Colossus of Nero. This would be, indeed, like Disneyland. Nice to see Elyssa Bernard !😊

As one from the ancient civilisation, I understand your feelings. Rome was a great empire and it rose to a great height. But like us, Rome also made a mistake and paid the price. We forgot that Peace is for the weak in body and crippled in mind and so did Rome.

Just before his death in May 337, it is claimed that Constantine was baptised into Christianity. Up until this time he had been a catechumen for most of his adult life. He believed that if he waited to get baptized on his death bed he was in less danger of polluting his soul with sin and not getting to heaven. this was a relatively common practice among Christians in those days which was discouraged by the Catholic Church. I hope this helps. God bless.
