Rome Reborn
Posted on Tuesday, June 12, 2007 at 12:25 PM by Jason Barker
From Mike
Aqulina's blog I learned about an
article published yesterday by Reuters about Rome
Reborn, a virtual model of Rome at its peak of one million people
under St. Constantine the Great. The notional date of the model is June
21, 320 A.D. The article says,
Brainchild of the University of Virginia's Bernard Frischer, Rome Reborn (www.romereborn.virginia.edu) will eventually show its evolution from Bronze Age hut settlements to the Sack of Rome in the 5th century AD and the devastating Gothic Wars.
The simulation will be opened in a theater near the Colosseum, but information and some images are available at the website linked above.
