Explore Rome, 320 AD in Google Earth
As a long time subscriber to Archaeology Magazine, it will probably come as no surprise that something like this might interest me: Google has put together a virtual simulation of ancient Rome which includes 7000 buildings available to you via the Google Earth program (for those few of you who haven’t played with this, it’s a free software from Google that renders the globe in three dimensions). Zoom in on Rome circa 320 AD when it was a bustling city of 1 million souls under the Emperor Constantine. Warning: fast graphics card required, fast internet connection recommended. Don’t have Google Earth? Download it here. Watch the video to learn how to access ancient Rome.
