Detail of the new computer model of ancient Rome shows the steps on the back side of the Caesarian Rostra, or speakers' platform, in an image released June 11, 2007. Rome reborn, the largest simulation of an ancient city ever made, was unveiled on Monday in a first release showing the city within the Aurelian walls at its peak in 320 A.D., under the emperor Constantine when it had grown to a million inhabitants.

Another story: Rome 'rewound' to former glory; Ancient city reborn in virtual tour and 3- D film.

A first peek at the 31 monuments and 7,000 buildings is already available at www.romereborn.virginia.edu and the whole thing should be posted at a special new site within a year . . .

peak of its power in A.D. 320

Noooooo! Rome's peak of power was under Trajan.

I’d rather cheer the Prince of Peace.

Though Amen-a-nut-job could stand some strong thumping.

whoa!

[Mike Fieschko]

where do i click?

At the main page (Rome Reborn 1.0), click on Galleries (it's Flash, so there's no hyperlink), then, say, Video Clips.

Then, click on one of the images.

I’d rather cheer the Prince of Peace.

Then enjoy Constantine's Rome, the Emperor who converted to Christ.

Let us populate it with Roman avatars doing stuff like in Second Life or World of Warcraft and it would make millions.
