And we are returning to ancient Rome We’re starting from the religious center of Rome - the Capitoline Hill Its top was a sacred place - Area Capitolina Many temples, altars and sanctuaries were concentrated here The huge temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus dominated all these buildings This temple was rebuilt several times, the last time it was under Domitian at the end of the 1st century CE It was richly decorated, and its golden roof shone

far and wide The camera pans gradually around the hill and you can see the theatre of Marcellus in the foreground and the Colosseum, Palatine palaces and Circus Maximus in a background Now we will move to Via Sacra the main street of ancient Rome We start under the Arch of Titus and you can see one of his reliefs reconstructed in full color On the right you see the imposing façade of the Temple of Venus and Roma built in the 2nd century to the design of Emperor Hadrian and restored in the early 4th century by Maxentius Now

we’re turning towards the Forum To the right is the huge Basilica Nova built by the same Emperor Maxentius and later renamed in honor of Emperor Constantine On the left are the porticoes of warehouses of Vespasian We are approaching the Forum and there are two temples to our right One of them is in honor of Romulus, son of Emperor Maxentius And behind it is the temple of Antoninus and Faustina Now we are at the Forum Romanum and see it as it was in the middle of the 4th century CE The temples of the Capitoline Hill rise

above the Forum On the left is the temple of Jupiter and on the right is the temple of Juno Moneta Now we will show the reconstructions of 2 wonderful interiors that we did this year Both buildings were located on Via Sacra The first interior is the western cella of the temple of Venus and Roma with a statue of the goddess Roma The interior of the temple was richly decorated with marble and porphyry The goddess Roma sat on a high pedestal in her right hand she holds a spear and in her left hand a sphere and

winged Victory The 2nd interior is the basilica of Maxentius The main place here is occupied by the famous colossus of Constantine located in the western apse The statue was converted from a statue of Maxentius which had previously been converted from an Antonine era statue This basilica was a very important building of its time and therefore was built on a grand scale and decorated with expensive and varied materials We paid special attention to the reconstruction of the marble facing of the basilica as well as recreating the splendor of its exquisite ceiling Much attention has been paid

to the surrounding buildings of the Colosseum On the left we see the conical fountain of Meta Sudans and behind it, on a high platform the eastern façade of the Temple of Venus and Roma Directly in front of us is the huge statue of Colossus Solis which was originally a statue of Nero and stood at the entrance to his Golden Palace Now we will make a complete flyby around the Flavian Amphitheatre To our left is the portico of the Baths of Titus which were built at the same time as the Colosseum And now we are on

the east side of the Colosseum and opposite it were located three schools for gladiators Ludus Magnus, Dacius and Gallicus Ahead, on the top of the Caelian hill we see the complex of the temple of the divine Claudius begun under Nero and completed under Vespasian We’re finishing our flight around the Colosseum and see in front of us the side of the Arch of Constantine decorated with colored reliefs The façade of the Colosseum itself has been completely updated in our project and has been recreated with every possible attention to detail in architecture and materials You can see

all four tiers in sequence which are made in the Doric (Tuscan), Ionic and Corinthian orders The 3D reconstruction of Ludus Magnus has also been completely re-done you can see this gladiator school in the center and to the right of it is the Ludus Gallicus as well as a semicircular nymphaeum on the corner of the street which was called Caput Africae And now we’re standing in the Ludus Magnus arena and we can see the silhouette of the Colosseum beyond its walls Finally, we'll show the residential areas of Rome that we've improved and made more realistic Now

in front of you is the area to the east of the Colosseum the camera flies from the Temple of Claudius on Caelius to the Baths of Trajan on Esquiline And this is the Subura area with its dense placed buildings The camera flies from the Basilica of Maxentius to the Baths of Constantine at the top of the Quirinal In the distance we see the imperial forums the Palatine palaces and the temples on the Capitoline Hill Thank you for watching this video!
