In this episode, your window reveals a timelapse of one of the most dramatic urban evolutions in human history. For over two millennia, Rome was shaped by political revolutions, wars, plagues, the rise and fall of empires, and a continuous cycle of destruction and renewal.
Among its most dramatic chapters is the era of the Domus Aurea. After the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, Emperor Nero seized vast areas across the Palatine, Esquiline, and Caelian hills to build his sprawling Golden House, complete with an enormous artificial lake at its heart. Just a few years later, that same lake would be drained and filled to lay the foundations of the Colosseum.
Over time, the valley around the Colosseum fell into ruin and silence. During the Middle Ages, the Roman Forum, once the center of the ancient world, became little more than an open field known for centuries as “Campo Vaccino”, a grazing ground for cattle.

Thank you for posting.
Capitoline Wolf in Rome, Georgia:
Rome's historic City Hall was designed by A. Ten Eyck Brown and was constructed in 1914. In addition to municipal offices for the City of Rome, the building has a 1,200-seat auditorium, which is home to the Rome Symphony Orchestra, the oldest symphony in the South. The Capitoline Wolf was a gift from the Roman (Italy) Governor, by order of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in 1929. The statue is an exact replica of the etruscan art that stands in the Palazzo dei Conservatori on Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy.The city of seven hills.
Thank you! I really enjoyed the video.
The one showing NYC is good, too.
