Very cool!
What would be interesting would be the option in google maps to pick a year ... and then the poltical map borders change to fit the year.
Bloody Romans. What have they ever done for us?
been playing around with their kinda new “street view” feature. just unreal, give it a try if you haven’t already it is really something.
can’t seem to get rid of the ancient buildings now after I installed it.
Thanks
A 3rd century emperor, one of my favorites, one of the more able ones, assassinated of course by a corrupt official in his own staff, built the circuit walls which probably helped the population rise behind their shelter. One persistent trouble that the great buildings had in the city was the plundering of building stone, usually at night, such that occasionally emperors would have to make proclamations outlawing the practice. Clearly, ancient Rome needed more urban renewal, among other things, to spread out the population into new, engineered neighborhoods (i.e., not unlike parts of Ostia).
