See what the Romans saw back in 320 A.D.The new development from Google Earth allows you to see exactly what the people of Rome would have seen back in the day.
A fully recreated Ancient Rome 3-D opens up the world of the Colosseum, the Forum and the Circus Maximus to get a taste of the life that ancient Romans would have lived.
Developed by Google and teams from the University of California at Los Angeles and University of Virginia the project took ten years to complete and further year to transfer it on to the web.
The project has had positive feedback from the mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno who has commented on the accuracy of the project.
You may not be able to witness a Gladiatorial combat in the great arena or the Senate sitting around drinking wine and eating grapes but you will be able to get an idea of the architecture that made up the streets and buildings of the city that once ruled the world. Does make you wonder if people will be looking on the ruins of the White House in another thousand years.
