Reconstructing Rome

For anyone that has been to Rome, or any similar ruins, they will understand how difficult it is for one to reconstruct a image of what those ruins may have looked like. Even the most vivid imaginations would be hard pushed to reconstruct the Roman Forum in their minds eye. However, by the grace of the internet, some very clever people have reconstructed parts of Rome for us and I wanted to share with you a good starter.

This video is based in the Roman Forum itself and gives a good idea of how big everything was! Towards the end of the video they begin recreating the temples and such from the present day image to what it may have looked like then. It’s wonderful to think that there were thousands of people visiting this place as it looked then.
