No storage for the hoover or ironing board 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for helping us understand better how these villas looked. What I find so off-putting about Roman villas: 1. Virtually no windows in the bedrooms and dining rooms. Just one small high one with heavy bars, no view. To be inside in any of these rooms with the door closed --- i.e. at bedtime, or at any time of day or night during winter (to keep out the cold coming in through the atrium and off the pool), would have felt to me like being in a prison cell. I understand why the Romans did not risk putting any windows on the perimeter walls -- they had no choice but to make their homes high security compounds. But no wonder they painted pictures on the walls. Anything to fill the blankness... 2. The rooms were so dark! due to the before-mentioned lack of windows. Even if the walls were painted all white, it would have been very difficult to do any meaningful work inside, even during the daytime, and overcast days would have been worse. I understand that lamp oil was expensive, so Romans probably didnt use lamps in the daytime. Whether writing, sewing, cleaning or repairing, I imagine every household task that could conceivably have been carried out in the atrium or garden took place in those in those open areas -- weather permitting -- as they were the only places with natural light sufficient to see properly what you were doing. And with so much of one's day spent in these verandah-like outdoor zones, and not actually inside, living in such a residence must have felt rather like living in a campsite. OK in summer -- but brutal in the colder months.
Atâta eleganță stil și rafinament la o civilizație de acum două mii de ani!Romanii au fost cea mai avansată civilizație din istoria omenirii.
This is the first time I've ever heard someone talking about the life of normal people in pompeii. I didnt even know about the upstairs apartments. Thanks.
Your comment made my day, thanks for it! These videos were a lot of fun to do.
@@Stori3d_Past keep it up! I've watched all your Roman videos. I would love to see one about villa san marcos and the other villas in stabiae.
@@binabina4445 I wanted to make so many more of these! Sadly 5 years ago the developers updated the whole game, broke most of my mods, then released & abandoned it. So I wasn't able to do anymore. A real shame, even today there's still no software that can do what Medieval Engineers was getting close to being able to do.
@@Stori3d_Past oh man what a loss. Maybe you need to take up game design yourself lol

30 skull-breaking frames per second. This is a slideshow, not a video.
Yeah it was made with an extremely unoptimized game that was still in Alpha early release. My hope was always that the game would grow & that my video skills would improve. But the game got updated, broken, and abandoned. A bum deal.
The devs did improve one thing, they later made it possible to set camera flyover paths, so that turns wouldn't look so jerky & horrible. I wish they'd been able to do more.
Currently doing ocr gcse latin and this was so helpful!
Thanks much for letting me know, that made my day! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Very fucking cool man!!!!
So much easier to understand Pompeii thru what you've done. Love archaeology, but barren ruins just don't give a clear picture. Kudos - John 3:16
Awesome!
I don't understand. The rich residents would keep their front doors open?
That's right. During daylight hours, most rich homes considered the atrium inside their house like a semi-public space. People could come in, wait to meet with the owner about business. Maybe even have a look around at artwork, like a museum. A rich house was a public statement about the wealth & power of the family. So they liked showing that off. These households always had a number of servants and slaves keeping an eye on things to make sure that nobody went where they shouldn't, or took something they shouldn't.
Very impressive and very interesting! However, I can’t help thinking that living in virtually unheated stone buildings, especially with the climate up in the North of England, can’t have been much fun for the majority of the occupants there. It would be just bearable today with modern hi-tech clothing, so how they managed to endure it is a bit of a puzzle…
One thing I wish I had been able to show off better was the hearths and probably also the braziers. There was probably always a fire going somewhere inside, or if not inside then a fire outside and stone or copper vats inside -- braziers -- to hold red-hot coals brought inside to give off their heat. It was probably a smoky environment with itchy noses & watery eyes & sooty cheeks. And I bet could be pretty miserable on the worst days. But livable.
@@Stori3d_Past Yes, they would have had fires somewhere, but I wonder about the fuel they used? Presumably it wasn’t coal, so that leaves wood. Apart from the great labour involved in cutting, transporting, splitting, then storing it to season for at least a year etc. they would have quickly denuded the countryside around them, which anyway looks rather bleak & bare.
@@lawrieflowers8314 I think this is part of where the famous Roman logistics comes in. In addition to a granary shipping system (one of the huge forts on the east coast was at one point *all* granaries!), they must have been shipping other things like fuel. Because you're right, there weren't a ton of trees even 2000 years ago. They probably also used local peaty earth, and horse dung. A part-cavalry fort like Vindolanda would have had 120 cavalry horses (plus pack animals), producing multiple tons of dung every day.
Incredible
Must have been cold in the winter
One of the most agreeable presentation styles ( re Pompeii) which l have ever seen. THANKYOU
3:25 in the left corner is a bust of, at first I thought Hannibal Barca, but must be Pericles!
I honestly can't remember which ones I found and used. If the game software had survived, I had hoped to build up a big collection of these for later videos. I do remember that I used a Caracalla one in a Pompeii build coz I didn't have another one of the right time period!
It seems to me, after visiting Herculaneum myself, that Roman urban buildings were at least 1floor taller than animations would suggest with wooden constructions on the top
Oh is Romans were very clever people well the Saxons were living in poverty. If you was a commander of a thought, do you live the life of luxury? Carpenters, blacksmiths, allsorts of people the commander would’ve probably had his own or definitely had his own cooks fine wines and very good food. Interesting computer images thank you
I like The US flag in that ancient home. nice touch.
This is great! Thanks, Chariovalda!
Playing they Hurrian Hymn in the background? Nice touch
Is still available to download? I subscribed but i can not played
No sadly. They made a huge update to the game in 2019, and it broke almost all of the mods. I was never able to put the Pompeii world (or any of the other worlds) back together again. A real disappointement! Thank you for trying though.
@@Stori3d_Past Is there any method to save offline those mods? I bought this shit 2 hours ago only for this pompeii mod and what a mess. I find an old version of game 0.6. How can add those mods to this?
@@raulx8007 The Pompeii build was built for 0.6.4. When they updated to 0.7 in early 2019, and everything broke, I tried to update as many mods as possible so people could keep using them. But a lot of the stuff was hopeless. After weeks of trying I had to quit. The game no longer played right on my computer, and most of the developers had been laid off so I couldn't get their help. So I don't know if the Pompeii build will still work if you download the old version. I think it probably won't, because some of the mods it uses are the old ones for 0.6.4 and others were updated to 0.7.
@@Stori3d_Past download steam workshop mods without game----youtube tutorial I managed to download your pompeii mod offline and i have a game version 0. 7 I am sure there is way to fix this But how the hell i can luad the mod on my offline version 0.7?
Repeated fade to black is the tool of the talentless. Don't use it!
There's plenty I'd do differently now, 5 years later, than I did then, no doubt.
Im British and see hadrians wall a lot, but never seen it rendered like this... its crazy, looks like skyrim. Love the story of hadrian too, with antinous.
This is fantastic. Thank you for showing how the different classes lived. Ruins do not give you any idea of how the homes really looked. Your recreation allows us to look back in time.
The roofs were rebuilt with an excessive and unnecessary slope. Roman tiles do not require that slope, partly because the rainwater regulation system is very efficient. The roofs could only have that slope in the early days, when the buildings were still temporary, with wooden walls and the roofs equally made with shingles. "Medieval Engineers" offer advantages and limitations, in this case.
If you see my later videos, I spent a lot of time reconstructing & using a complete set of lower-pitched roofs to take that into account. But it may or may not have been accurate to do that. In the northern provinces, especially on Hadrian's Wall, winter snows could have been sufficient to need a steeper sloped roof. If you look at all the reconstructions by experts in the field, some have the more Mediterranean low-sloping roofs, some have a more "medieval" high-sloping style. Over the centuries the Romans seem to have adjusted some of their building styles on Hadrian's Wall to take account of local conditions. For example by the 3rd Century roofs were made of slate instead of tile. So maybe they changed slopes too. We'll probably never know for sure.
please stop adding background noise/music. its very annoying...at least when you're speaking
more fake pictures, wonder why people confuse history with fiction?

Excellent presentation. I recently joined a guided tour of Chichester, attended their excellent Roman reenactment day in Priory Park and visited the site of the Chichester amphitheatre 🏛️🤺🗡️🩸
Very Good from Brazil
SLOW THE CAMERA DOWN! You move it so fast, it's annoying.
Ur annoying
wow very fancy houses! ❤️
who got to eat the stamped bread piece was 5hat a good or bad piece.the thought of having a outside garden study that would be fantastic e ven a emperor did have that.
I think they had some kind of canvas or tent sail material. door as a makeshift privacy screen entrance on the garden kitchen loo.sometimes called a garden
I hope they had latrines for the horses, too.
Are any of the spring wells that supplied water still running.
Iwash i borind 1000 2000 3000 yer be4 i dont lik taknolji
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great human and social details. They were so like us, and so unlike us at the same time.
When the narrator said “combination kitchen/latrine, my nose literally wrinkled, just as he suggested. Thought it was kinda funny. So I thought I’d report it 😂
Ha! Thanks! Yeah it still gets me too.
Never understood why the Allies bombed Pompeii. So there might have been Germans in there. So what? Just go around them.
one plan each seven seconds, really?
Very interesting thanks
Good work. Obviously the statues were colored. Ancient people colored everything, including the statues. Modern people think current colorless buildings and statues were colorless even in the past. No. In the past they were colored. In Egypt, India, Mexico, Italy, Greece, etc. there were no buildings or statues that were colorless.
Жили же люди.. Правда до поры до времени....
More information and good work. Thanks.
A town outside of a fort is called a vicus.
With the atrium and the hold in the roof, I'm wondering how they managed when there was bad weather: Heavy downpour, strong winds, and snow. That must have been disasterous@!
