Walk through Domitian's Palace on the Palatine 

Many thanks.

Thank you! Will do!

We all thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it. We have our colleague Andrea Troiani to thank for the wonderful model.

@@AncientRomeLive Yes, it enhances the presentation marvelously.

Our pleasure!

Nice idea-- would still take a lot of work (time and money)...

Vik do you know about these guys we don't get Darius excellent narration (and I would pay for that) but is super worthwhile www.youtube.com/@historyin3d Edit: Darius as can be seen there are people working on this already all they would need is your narration

@@AncientRomeLive It's a new concept, so think of the benefits instead, Thats probably the next step here, you would like to have more visitors, (and tourist dollars). These enhancements might only be available to people on site. Small markers placed in the ground would indicate to visitors where to stand and access their phones for a 360 view of the computer recreated visual. Access codes (good for one day and purchased by) visitors would prevent saving or viewing if not standing directly over those tiles. Also, a good application for virtual/enhanced reality with portable 3D goggles, (rentable of course from the gift shop), similar to location shots from Google Earth. As an experienced designer, I think a strong case could be made here (by a design firm, institution, or other public or private partners) to drive tourist visits using new technology. Other popular sites might also benefit from this, the Colosseum, the Forum, etc. I think someone should pick up this idea and test it. As a way to start, this might be a good thesis project for design students as well. I like your 4K stabilized video and wide-angle view, great presentation.

@@AncientRomeLive It would take some money and a lot of love. But honestly it could be a lot less than people imagine. You would need someone to advice the people building the assets (the prefabs) with old and new plans and layouts together with maybe best guess design and architecture pictures. The people building the assets could be either volunteers from schools and universities around the area. Not everything has to be absolutely perfect. When I worked with Unreal a while ago, you made an asset, say a ceeling beam in wood, and then you duplicate it everywhere in the "level". You resize it, stretch it, just duplicate it as much as you need. Same would go for pillars and roof tiles, etc. I doubt it would be that much work once people working on it understand how to use the engine properly. Check out some of the Unreal 5 tech demos. they blow my mind away.

We need another Assassin Creed that want to replicate 😂 . They did it with Notre Dame

Thank you!

What you see has been restored already - in portions- don't expect Williamsburg anytime soon! The lower portions are occasionally open for limited-run exhibits...

Restoration is one thing, but reconstruction is an entirely different problem. The cost would be extraordinary. It is doubtful any major structures will be rebuilt to original condition within our lifetime, if ever. We are allowed our imagination and digital renderings to glimpse what was, in a time when Rome was the dominant power in the region.

Thank you !

thank you.

Small world!

Much appreciated! Team effort!

Our pleasure!

Yes!

Glad you liked it!

thank you. It's worth a visit!

Thank you too!

Thank you. If you look at our content on ancientromelive.org (index) or search on RU-vid- we have videos on both city walls and aqueducts..

@@AncientRomeLive Well thank you. Youtr index is so extensive that I must have missed it. Caan you giver me the titles to those videos, pls?

The palace remained in place and ready to accommodate appropriate guests, etc... they were not abandoned; they were still showcase centers for the empire, with or without presence of the emperor.

@@AncientRomeLive Interesting, thanks for the response!

“Fuel and Fire in theAncient Roman World, Towards an integrated economic understanding Edited by Robyn Veal & Victoria Leitch” is a nice article on the subject. The general thought is that that the Romans must have had a sophisticated system of forest management in order to provide the massive amounts of wood and charcoal required by the city. Anything less would have stripped the surrounding areas in short order. Glass making and other industries would have consumed enormous quantities of fuel.

@@jeffreyhenion4818 In the UK in country areas, homes have wood burners as backup for the electricity grid. The Romans could teach us a few things in this respect as fossil fuels become depleted. Thank you.

Wood, charcoal...

Yes, but a big commitment. Love to find a partner for our non profit to make more content.

Yes, the fact that it is the definitive residence - and we can really appreciate its scale- means that money was no object!

they got destroyed by allot of things, but by one in particular; time.

Just why? There’s always one. Go away.
