Rome in 320 B.C.E. Have you ever wanted to climb the steps of the Roman Forum? Take a good look at the gladiator training stadium? See the Temples of Venus and Roma! Check out this site it is a physical and digital recreation that takes you into all these details. It is called Rome Reborn 1.0 and is a project by the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia. Absolutely stunning and the great thing is that as archaeologist uncover more evidence they will change the city to reflect that new information!
Go to Gallery and there are still images, video and audio clips..
I just read an article on another site that the white statues we see today probably were not all white originally, although some were kept in their natural stone color sometimes statues of people and buildings in Roman and Greek times were painted with vibrant colors that are just now really being discovered through new technologies. So although history is in our past it is being discovered every day in the present!
