Virtual
Reconstruction: How Rome was
While visiting the
Imperial Forum's area today, one finds oneself in front
of spaces and remains of what were once piazzas, streets,
and palaces 2000 years ago. Certainly, it is fascinating
to know that certain rituals and activities took place in
these areas, but it is difficult to imagine effectively
the architectural structures.
So here, we offer a computer graphic reconstruction of some
of the buildings back then, giving you an idea of the monumentality
erected thousands of years ago.
