| |
|
| | '''Rome Reborn''' is a digital recreation of ancient Rome developed for educational and research purposes. |
|
| |
|
| == DESCRIPTION ==
| | Architectural elements and landmarks are divided into two categories: |
| Rome Reborn is an international initiative whose goal is the creation of 3D digital models illustrating the urban development of ancient Rome from the first settlement in the late Bronze Age (ca. 1000 B.C.) to the depopulation of the city in the early Middle Ages (ca. A.D. 550). With the advice of an international Scientific Advisory Committee, the leaders of the project decided that A.D. 320 was the best moment in time to begin the work of modeling. At that time, Rome had reached the peak of its population, and major Christian churches were just beginning to be built. After this date, few new civic buildings were built. Much of what survives of the ancient city dates to this period, making reconstruction less speculative than it must, perforce, be for earlier phases. But having started with A.D. 320, the Rome Reborn team intends to move both backwards and forwards in time until the entire span of time foreseen by our mission has been covered.

| | The Rome Reborn urban model shows the city within the Aurelian Walls as it might have appeared in 320 CE. The model is used as the principal visual resource in the following educational virtual tours available on the Yorescape platform: "Rome Reborn: Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine," "Rome Reborn: Baths of Caracalla," "Rome Reborn: Flight over Ancient Rome," "Rome Reborn: Roman Forum," and "Rome Reborn: Pantheon." More tours are planned. The best place to start is "Flight over Ancient Rome," which is a two-hour tour with 39 stops and 12 time warps giving a synthetic view of the model and the city's economy, geography, governance, housing, infrastructure, and more. There are no plans to create urban models of Rome beyond late antiquity. Dissemination occurs through Yorescape, offering virtual tours on various platforms. The urban model has also been used as a resource for research. A free, one-week trial subscription is available to Yorescape, which also includes other virtual tours to iconic destinations such as the Acropolis in Athens and the Giza plateau. |

| | The project was initiated in 1996 by Bernard Frischer (https://drive.google.com/file/d/16-L-5fwMrOX2eoHSoY00Gw53glSnAyXN/view?usp=sharing). With the help of an advisory committee of experts on Roman archaeology and topography, it aimed to create scientifically accurate 3D digital models depicting the city of ancient Rome. |
