Virtual Ancient Rome in 3D - Baths of Caracalla, 13 minute detailed video tour

2 жыл бұрын

We invite you to expore our 3D reconstruction of famous baths of Caracalla - one of the most magnificent and enormous buildings of ancient Rome. During the 13 minutes we will walk around outside and inside, and visit the most interesting locations - open swimming pool, cold, warm and hot baths, as well as enjoy walking in the gardens outside.
Our goal is to create the most extensive, detailed and accurate virtual 3D reconstruction of the Eternal City. And this reconstruction is one of the most important parts of it. We're presenting the 2.0 edition (the 1.0 was long ago, in 2012), and I hope we have done much improvement in accuracy and realistic details of the baths. However, it is not the final result for sure, we will be improving this 3D reconstruction further, correcting something, adding details, according with the new data investigations.

That's Roman architecture for you, they don't fail to impress and leave you awestruck. Style and aesthetics are key to its success. The golden ratio, which is used in ancient classical architecture is akin to Feng Sui, I reckon, since it looks and feels naturally balanced. Also, the bold and monumental style reflects Roman confidence, dominance, ability, and most of all, power. Architecture is ideal propaganda, even if it's subliminal.

Absolutely, totally and utterly astonishing, what was it that prompted Caracalla to build this magnificent complex? This installation was for the use of the Roman people and one might think Caracalla was civic minded and benevolent. He wasn't. He had five thousand people slaughtered in one afternoon while touring North Africa for criticism directed at him for murdering his brother Geta after Caracalla used his mother to unknowingly lure him into a meeting to ostensibly talk about sharing power. Instead Caracalla produced a hidden knife and stabbed his brother to death in sight of their mother. All of Rome was aware of this and perhaps in expiation of this crime he built the undeniably magnificent Baths of Caracalla.
