Echoing other's sentiment, I'm very grateful for this series, Darius. Your travels allow me to virtually visit all the places I probably won't see in my lifetime. You are doing humanity a great service!

I lived in Rome in the late 60s and have re-visited it as recently as 2017. Rome is my favorite place on the planet and your channel brings me back "home." Thanks for these videos, which awaken a hunger in me to visit Rome and Italy again!

Thank you for this presentation. My parents live in Canosa di Puglia now. I remember when I was younger, every summer spent in Canosa, we would wander along the countryside and all the fabulous Roman ruins.

In Brindisi, the main theatre is suspended over an archeologial area (visitable) in which it could be seen the old roman city with houses wall, thermal areas and a road in the middle. Moreover, in the town center there are the so called "Vasche limarie", the terminal area of the ancient roman aqueduct that replenished the city fountains. There is so much to see and not only the column and the museum

Thank you Darius and team for this wonderful series. I've really enjoyed seeing the varied sites along the way - Egnazia looks amazing in this video - and the drone shots are fantastic. Darius, your enthusiasm always shines through! A great series, wholly inspirational. Looking forward to your next videos.

How awesome it would be to "completely" restore that bridge, put a little rest area and/or tourist center and restaurant and perhaps a small hotel. Seem like there is a relatively lot of land all around the bridge. Just imagine having lunch at a little outdoor café , with the beautiful bridge towering above! That could mean money for the local economy and additional funds for restoration!

Has any scholarly comment been made about the resemblance between Trajan's arch at Benevento and the Arch of Titus in Rome. Trajan's arch resembles a copy of Titus', but with far more elaborate ornamentation.

@AncientRomeLive

Жыл бұрын

Yes. it's a great comparison. Of course, the Arch of Titus that we view today is mostly reconstructed (by Valadier). So we really don't know how the Arch of Titus originally looked. Were there panels?? We'll never know! If so, it would have been a good model for Trajan's arch.

@@AncientRomeLive I have wondered about how faithful the restoration is to the original or if by the time it was rebuilt, nothing was known of its original appearance. Clearly, the only original surfaces are inside the arch; the rest is all restoration.

@@AncientRomeLive ARL's video on the Arch is quite informative, but doesn't address the outward-facing piers on either side of the arch itself. The reproductions are so plain and the niches are too small to have served any real purpose. I'd be inclined to say Trajan's Benevento arch should be relied upon as a more faithful reproduction.

By the way, doesn't anyone in Italy restore Ancient Roman roads and bridges with their original SMOOTH top surfaces? What we typical see today is the under-surface of the roadways with their rough and bumpy composition. Had Ancient wagons and chariots used such uneven pathways, it would have caused all such means of transportation to collapse within a very short distance. Most modern people think that the Ancient Romans built such "crappy" bumpy roads, when in fact...their roadways were probably as smooth as many of our street are today.

It’s a tricky subject. For the Vis Appia what we see is going to be latest phase - and quite piecemeal. What you do see in the first miles is actually oftentimes a montage of pieces assembled …

*Breen-dee-zee, roll the R

For goodness' sake stop saying 'ROUT'. The word is French, route, and it is pronounced ROOT. Americans used to use the correct pronunciation, but for some reason, in recent decades, they've switched to 'rout'. You 'rout' your enemies in battle, having followed the correct route, geddit?

It has always been a regional pronunciation in American English. Some say "root" and some say "rout." This isn't new.
