Daryus, I live in Rome and I must say that your channel is a gold mine! Thank you so much gor your work!

[dalmaticus]

Always great to get the latest archeological news from Rome! The restrictions of access to the monuments is always a mixed bag, but if we want future generations to experience these wonderful monuments it's a necessity I think.

[AlexanderCollas]

Preservation of the monuments are the first priority. Most visitors do not care what damage is done, they are only interested in them being able to see it, today. Therefore, like with so many other historical sites, precautions must be put in place to protect what matters, the archeology itself.

Thanks so much for the video! I visited Rome in March and wondered what these new excavations at Piazza Venezia are. At the end of our stay we took the elevator to the top of Piazza Venezia and it was well worth the price, the view of the Foro Romano and the whole city was magnificent. Having visited many sites across Rome it was super nice to spot them from above. It gave me a further unverstanding of the layout of Rome, I really recommend it!

The best channel about ancient Rome, great projects, I hope there will continue to be more reconstruction projects.

I like how you call the Colosseum a monument, not a building.
I’ve been an ancient Roman history fan for a long time.
My wife and I were there last year, and are hoping to return next year.
I would so love to have a coffee with you and chat.
Take care and keep up the good work.

Your vids are so awesome. Such cultural treasures

[Eddict]

What a great content, as always.
I have never been to Rome, but one day I will definitely visit it.
My favourite sites are the Basillica Ulpia, the Mausuleum of Augustus, the Domus Tiberiana and of couse the Colluseum.

Rome is renovating itself completely...I have to say, as a Roman I am quite proud of all of the works that they have been doing, lots of investments in both public transport, archeology and urban projects are reshaping the whole city. 10 years from now Rome will look VERY different.
Thank you for the video!

Excellent! So nice to see you doing well Darius. And you have not aged a day!

[solinvictus]

Thank you once again for doing all that you do, Darius. You really are doing a service to humanity by providing all of this valuable information and guidance to Roman history enthusiasts and tourists. I know that whenever I'm able to return to Rome I will be armed with the latest information and knowledge, managing my time in a much more efficient manner.

Always amazing to watch the latest news about Rome, thank you.

For me, they wouldn't have to build the fence (actually i was a little disappointed when I came to Rome some years ago the 2nd time after I have been there in 1985), but sadly, not everyone respects the remains as they deserve.

[MegaLivingIt]

Thank you sir for your staggering knowledge on this subject. You are a refreshing breeze. 🌿

[petrismaximus]

Again enjoyable and informative. Yes preservation of Archaeological sites and monuments is of prime importance. Darius, I am so glad we have your good self showing us things we would possibly never see, access restricted or no. Thank you!

[jesusparramar]

I love your channel Darius, you can really feel your passion about ancient roman history and archeology, thank you for all your effort and information 🙌🏽

[tensaibr]

I like the fencing. It is subtle, and it allows the Colosseum to breathe.

[TWOCOWS]

Thank you for this update. I really appreciate learning of what is happening in Rome with its monumnts. I am so glad that they are progressively protecting the monument from the visitors. As recent lyas the 1950s, weed and trees used to grow inside the Colossium, and the government would simply spray them with weed killer!! That is all that they would do to "protect" the structure from plants and their roots!

[wizzardofpaws]

I love how you take us to these unknown places.

[summerwell]

What an excellent video! I will come back to Rome see all these new things, thank you😊❤

[DeneF]

Great video. Many thanks. I think Titus would be thankful that a little better care was being taken with his family's arena.
