Augustan Ancient Rome in 3D: House of Augustus and Livia - detailed tour 

In the end you write: "thank you for watching". I must tell you it's quite the contrary: I deeply thank you for your work, for your passion, for your service!!!

I love how you add the landscaped gardens! Most "restorers" picture Rome as a city of stone and marble without a single plant, tree, or garden. It was as if the Ancient Romans went out of their way to stomp and kill every blade of greenery within the city limits. Also...when the technology is available, I think it would add a lot to show people walking about the city as well.

If I had a time machine Ancient Rome would be my first stop……. Could you imagine just strolling through the city, must have been awe inspiring…

That final shot over the rest of the Palatine is great - it's often hard to visualize all of the other villas and mansions of the Roman aristocracy on the Palatine, when we are so used to seeing the massive Domus Flavia cover over most of it.

Great animation! Amazing channel! I miss my Rome - the most beautiful city in Europe. Greetings from ancient history maniac 💗👍

I'm begging for a VR versions of this.

They don't build like this anymore! We just get soulless concrete blocks and glass towers.

These are buildings so fantastic, not to be find in our times. Thanks for the brilliant work.

Stunning! Extremely well done. It's like going back in time.

It's definitely bigger than I actually thought it was. Hollywood movies and tv series never have done it justice. They ALWAYS portray it SMALL!

Magnificent Reconstructions... I used to go to the the Library in high school, which had an encyclopedia or series of books: 'Hammond's Book Of Architectural History'... It was loaded with Old Architectural History. In There it was stated that: " Too Witness Rome, at it's Height Of It's Glory... Would Be Too Witness The Greatest Architectural Sight That Would Ever Be Created By The Hand Of Mankind"! I think it's Entirely Possible and Most Likely True!

WOW.... Who knew it was that crowded? I imagined more space in between. Thank you

So beautiful would love to have a house designed like the Ancient Rome

Amazing to think that the Romans could produce and transport that amount of building material, on an industrial scale, in a fairly short period of time. Most of their huge monuments were built in 5-10 years. Compare that to the Norman built Durham Cathedral which is a similar size, built 1100 years later, which took 100 years to build.

I’m speechless 😶 extremely well done !! Beautiful..Beautiful along the perfect music .. a trip to the past in the Eternal City !! Thanks a million !! 😜

Hello, my goodness, Thank You! How magical and wondrous to see this brilliant reconstruction. I imagined the marble glinting in the sun with gold shimmering near the clouds, what a awesome sight to behold! The Romans and Greeks (and Egyptians) built spectacular Palaces, Temples etc. And of course other Ancient Civilisations now discovered of mind blowing intricacies, paintings and so forth. Thank you again. Xxxx

I think it safe to say there has never been and will never be a city as striking and beautiful as this.

A wonderful reconstruction. It's perfect, full of small details, and historically faithful.

Very interesting video on Augustus and Livia's House or Domus Augusti. Relatively modest house but according to some historians it was much larger but a part was destroyed by the later Palace of Domitian. A very interesting place to visit!

Could you imagine a developer recreating this beautiful architecture today. Exactly as depicted in this video.

Would be cool to have a online representation. Where people can take part and their avatars would be period as well.

Thank you for these recreations and all of the work that went into it !

I love this channel so much, Roma Invicta

Augustus was smarter than Nero because he knew fewer people would want to kill him if he refrained from rubbing his wealth and power in their faces.

I always dream of being able to see Rome around 181 AD just at the opening of the colosseum .... Just to see Roam at its peak , the Buildings and Temples in their Grandeur

Amazing presentation. The geometry and scale of the buildings and their parts are breathtaking. Thank You!

My pipe dream is a full reconstruction of ancient Rome in real life but with modern conveniences , technology, transportation etc.

Yes... I could imagine myself living in there. Great work with the animation!

I would be so glad to get this on my oculus quest 2 with the ability to wander around for myself😍 Maybe one day to go inside the buildings. I would pay for such an app! Please more of this!!! Thanks!

This, curiously, makes me sad. Beautifully done.

Very beautiful.....fulfills the criteria of our modern fantasies about ancient Rome.

I saw this after I saw a movie showing MichaelAngelo painting the Sistine Chapel.. Lovely work and this is splendid.

Incredibly beautiful

It’s really amazing,you feel you are actually there, it’s correct that all statues were painted, the work done must be so immense! Thank you

Thanks for all your hard work bringing the city back to life. It's incredible to see this unfold

So Hortensius and Catullus were neighbors? And Augustus put their former houses together to make his modest little palace? That's a cool bit of information. Very interesting.

It is truly amazing what the Romans were capable of building and for the most part a lot of it is still standing including many ruins of roads to so much....

Superb!

Again, you have created another beautiful & brilliant video. This is a delight to watch over and over again. I am grateful to your whole team for this creation. THANK YOU !

Nice work and recreation. Glad to see the 3D view being made use of and preserved by this historical data.

Just beautiful…

It would be cool if you showed the ruins at the beginning for a few seconds and then finished back to the ruins for a poignant touch

Thank you for posting, it's amazing, absolutely extraordinary!

PERFECTION

Wonderful video and background music. Yeah, I could live there, but without the responsibilities of Augustus.

How the hell did they keep the kids off their skate boards!?!

Must have looked cool at night with the lamp stands lit.

Que de changements, par la suite, de ce coté du Palatin ! So many changes, subsequently, on this side of the Palatine !

Wonderful ! Thank you!

Splendid, Danila, as always ! Thank you !

Great reconstruction and interesting. Thank you.

Now do all of ancient Rome with this rendering. It will be amazaing!

Very little of ancient Rome remains. Where did it all go? What happened to all that stone, marble and bronze? Looking back it looks cretinous to have destroyed so much beautiful architecture. Although I understand the original Roman sewers are still used today.

Incredible job, the double portico with the beautiful temple such a magnificent space, and the other incredible thing is how small is the "palace" of Augustus, the ego of the emperors will get out of control after his death, the palace of Tiberius and Caligula is much more big, then the Humongous palaces of Nero (the golden house) and Domitian reflect very well how the republican austerity was replaced for eastern decadence.

Fantastic work, thank you for undertaking this project. Great job 👍👍👍👍

Incredible job !

Wow!!!! The recreation is spectacular. Great to see a glimpse of history. If we learn anything from our past it will help us plan for our future. We learn best from our errors . Great work!!!

It really looks real. It is amazing to real it as it stood then.

Well done! Thanks for sharing it with us!

the music sound like a pink floyd stuff , wow. i notice the buildings are made mostly by marble and that prevents the building being engulfed by fire not like buildings now with wooden shafts.

Wow!

I can only say: phantastic !!!!!!!!

amazing video. tanks so much❤

Augusto era de los que pensaba: "para qué quiero un palacio enorme si ya soy dueño de un imperio enorme"...

Again another masterpiece ! :-)

Amazing! Thank you.

Very beautiful! (and the music is appropriate too) Did you guys already reconstruct the Pompey Theatre? It was the gem of Rome.

Remarquable travail de reconstitution . Bellissimo and wonderful......

Amazing buildings.

More like a relatively small town house for a public servant than a real palace for a de facto ruling monarch (when the then new Principate still had the heavy trappings of the dead Republic).

Wonderful work. Bravo. Would you consider making a video showing Prehistoric Thera & Akrotiri reconstructed? The result would be amazing!

Both Octavian and Livian were Bone family names, that's why Augustus and Livia had long lasting happy marriage.

People must have gotten sore feet walking around all that hard flooring in flat sandals.

I really enjoyed that.

Incredible rendering. Such ART! Thank you.

A great rendering, though out of curiosity wasnt the circus maximus predominantly made of wood during the Augustan period before being rebuilt out of stome by Trajan?

This is the stuff of goosebumps

Beautiful! 💙 Well done. Stay strong and take care in this upset world.

Wonderful!

Amazing video

Una maravilla la villa romana.

How the hell did they bring up all these bronze statues?? With scaffolding?

Wow

We just don't build like this anymore

EXCELLENT !! FROM, U.K. (2024).

How do we know so much about Rome? Like, how do we know where his study is, and that it was built from other houses? How do we have street plans and detailed building plans? Crazy!

So much for showing the living quarters

This looks so real , Thank You

This is amazing, also does anyone know what the statue of the woman with her hair loose at 2:17-2:20 is known as or is based on?

Super !!

please do the house of the vestals?

I would love to see the interior as well

Such beauty. Such cruelty.

This is amazing!! Keep up the good work! I'm enjoying all of your videos One thing that I cannot completely figure out are the sculptures: did the material they were built on (bronze or marble) determine if statues were coloured or not? I have seen in your videos that some statues you recreate - but not all - are coloured. I'm intrigued by this because the information out there is very misleading (thanks Michelangelo!)... I think the reality lies somewhere in between the "all-white-sculptures" and the "bright-fluorescent-sculptures", but I'm interested in learning more and understanding why you decided to keep some of these in bronze.

The Great Roman Empire

Please bring this to quest VR !

The only place existing on this earth to give a feeling of the grandeur that once was is in Damascus. The Great Umayyid Mosque still resembles these images right down to its' mirror marble floors and up to the Cedar's of Lebanon rafters. Grecian walls surround the sanctuary to this day. You can go see it. It is still there Edit: no computer generated images needed

Great job :)

Impresionante el detalle

Great presentation
