These reconstructions kill me, the same people that give you white tuts and shyt give you these landscape concept arts and pass it off as authentic history. Nobody has that kind of authenticity because nobody actually alive has witnessed it without having artifacts to ACCURATELY make these depictions on!

First of all, Rome was bigger than all that so to make the city that small is inaccurate. They cannot distinguish the difference between times of Roman empires so what period of ancient Rome does this depict? This is nothing more than 'revisionist' modernizing a huge chunk of history into "derp, errmm rome?"
:mjlol: you remindede me of this.

Ancient Rome is my favorite ancient civilization besides Egypt. It's like an ancient version of the United States, so familiar yet different. :ohlawd: the things I will do get into a time machine and experience the glory of Rome.

I can't believe all 4 of you a: didn't get the joke and b: want to defend that a breh toiling over a miniature rendition of Rome for 30+ years is really getting drawls :mjlol:

Not a bad point
It's not a great point. The article answered his questions.

What's the difference between this and being a sculptor or architect? And you used the word toiling without knowing any details of this mans life. How do you know this is something he did every day for 30 years? Ever consider he had other endeavors and this was just a long term project he committed maybe a few hours a week to?

Nobody actually has pictures of how Ancient Rome looked, how could they actually know besides fancy guesses from whats already there?
That’s why random articles off the internet are BS


I’m sure most of that was his vision
