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.

peak of its power in A.D. 320

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

Way kewl; very interesting. Wish I’d had this resource when I was reading Coleen McCullough’s Masters of Rome series, even though this is set later in Rome’s history than her books. (Would be nice if the restructing project had a time lapse feature...i.e., a ‘building of Rome’ feature.)

Instead of a stringed instrumental from the Renaissance, what this video needs is a narrator that names the buildings and describes the area.

Unless you were Helen Thomas, you’d be hard pressed to recognize all the landmarks of Ancient Rome.
