Rome the Eternal City Video

Rome the Eternal City Video

I just watched an in­ter­est­ing video that recreates Rome as it probably was circa 320 AD. At that point, Rome’s population was somewhere between one and two million people, the largest city in Europe until 19th century London. Con­stan­tine was Emperor and a few years later, he would move his capital to Con­stan­tino­ple. A century and a half later, the final emperors would die.

I’ve only visited Rome once, when I was ten years old. I’m long overdue for another visit.
