What Did Ancient Rome Look Like? (Cinematic Animation)

[ManMopol]

This is beautiful, only inaccuracy are the statues. Statues in Ancient Rome were painted with vibrant colors in its entirety...

[jackl]

It's amazing that ancient Romans were able to create such a magnificent city 2000 years ago. The realism and breath of the video is fantastic.

[jakeraught]

I wish we still made cities beautiful like this, instead of grey and blocky and depressing

[chrisM]

Amazing to think Ancient Egypt was older to the romans in that era, then the roman era was to us now days.

There's "Google Earth" but I'm hoping someone will make "Google Earth History" where you can select a year then zoom around the planet...

Everything about Italy, Rome in particular, fascinates me to no end. I'd give anything to see it all one day.

[rimi]

Spectacular -- but I would love to see more domestic interiors. How did people of various socio-economic strata live, day-to-day? How was their work performed, and with what tools? There room to dig a lot deeper here; I really hope you will!

What I wouldn't give just to spend one day walking freely around ancient Rome. Such a fascinating time in history.

When cities were built for people, not cars. Absolutely beautiful.

I have always had the belief that there should be an expansion to odyssey that captured that amazing adventure for Greece and allow you to do it for Rome.

The ability to explore and appreciate all of the different aspects of odyssey is what makes it unique and exciting. I want that same adventure in Ancient Rome

[andreasgrenmyr]

I thought everything was black and white until the seventies

[johnmcwade]

Even as an approximation (geographically inaccurate, too clean, etc.), I love how this brings the past to life, makes it touchable, relatable, like oh, they were actual people like we are and oh, we’re not advanced humans at all, we just have better tech. Fantastic work!

[Liz]

I have no idea how you did this but I'm so thankful you did.

[speeddrawfactory]

When cities 2000 years ago looked better than cities nowadays

[onemillionmiltonians]

Looks really great, and really captured the colors of the buildings. The statues, though, would have been painted bright colors as well.

[DoctorSkillz]

As an ancient Roman, this depiction is not entirely accurate.

[MassiveChetBakerFan]

Now imagine the above, but with a load of cars, buses and trucks. Just shows how beautiful cities can be when they are for primarily for pedestrians, without dirty motorized vehicles. (I don't think that cyclists, scooter drivers, a few buses and subway station entrances would ruin the beauty too much.)

[mikegalvin]

Obviously a sanitized version but I like that it captures how colorful it must have been, not the pale marble that survives.

[cannurdogdu]

Modern cities look like shit compared to this after thousands of year.
