Description

Rome Reborn is a digital recreation of ancient Rome using avatars for educational purposes.

Architectural elements and landmarks are divided into two categories:

1. Class I elements (e.g., the Colosseum) with detailed information are modeled by hand 2. Class II elements (less certain features) use 3D scan models

AI avatars are currently in development. There are no plans to cover periods beyond late antiquity. Dissemination occurs through Yorescape, offering virtual tours on various platforms, and free versions are available on Vimeo and YouTube.

History of the project

The first version of this resource, entitled Project Cicero, was created in 1996. It aimed to create 3D digital models depicting Rome's urban development from 1000 B.C. to A.D. 550, with a starting point in 320 CE.

Rome Reborn version 1.0 was launched in 2007, 2.0 in 2008, 3.0 in 2018, 4.0 in November 2023.‏‎
