Ancient Rome in 3D - Temple of Venus and Roma, detailed 3D reconstruction

#ancient #Rome #3d
Explore one of the most detaily reconstructed parts of our "Rome in 3D" project -the complex of the huge temple of Venus and Roma. This ensemble stood just opposite the Colosseum on a high platform. It was a personal architectural project of Emperor Hadrian.
We paid attention to a detailed reconstruction of how the temple could have been decorated on the outside. We also recreated in 3D one of the most important interiors - Western Cella with a statue of the goddess Roma Aeterna.
0:00 Introduction, aerial view, main information about the temple.
1:13 View from the Colosseum side, eastern facade, and Venus-colored fronton.
2:14 South facade, Vicus Curiarum, and Arch of Titus.
3:14 North facade, Temple of Tellus, Basilica of Maxentius, Colossus, and Colosseum.
3:43 Huge columns of the temple.
4:44 Side porticoes, now/then comparisons.
5:00 Perspective of Colossus Solis from the temple.
6:00 Approaching the temple along the Via Sacra.
7:00 Western facade and close-up of temple decorations.
8:53 Western cella interior, with the statue of the goddess Roma.
11:02 Temple without a roof in the 7th century, beginning of the destruction.

    It would be amazing but international laws about heritage are against any reconstruction, on the grounds that 1. it is necessary to show the history of the monument, therefore also its destruction is considered history and 2. the few remaining parts of the original building may not be strong enough to be incorporated in a modern building.

    Modern building codes would be a major obstacle. Most of the decor was done by hand. The skills needed for that kind of work are mostly now lost to history. The expense would be incalculable. Rome had the advantage of drowning in wealth from conquered lands and the availability of slave labor. And as noted above, it could not be done w/o irreparably harming what was left of the original structure.

    The Temple was most likely stripped of its treasures, ornamentation and statues either during the sack of 410, or the sack of 455. I'm betting on the latter, as the Vandal sack was of longer duration (2 weeks) and more thorough than that of the Visigoths (3 days). The fabric of the building remained intact, and King Theodoric of the Ostrogoths ordered the facade to be restored in the early 500s. As the narrator described, the bronze roof tiles were confiscated in the early 7th century. The structure was wrecked beyond repair in the 9th century, most likely during the massive earthquake of 847 (which also heavily damaged the Basilica of Maxentius), and during the Renaissance the marble of the building was melted in lime kilns to build other structures. The columns would have been repurposed as well.
