Ruins in Modern Imagination: The Roman Forum (part 1), an ARCHES video, speakers: Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker Part 2: • The Roman Forum, part II Part 3: • The Roman Forum, part III
These two are absolutely amazing at explaining and integrating history & art to the average person. I can't believe these videos are free. I wish I could thank them both in person.
I absolutely love videos by Dr. Harris and Dr. Zucker. Those videos help me through my earlier years of architecture school, giving me a source of much-needed information and a closer look at something I possibly never will have the chance to observe myself. It would be my dream to one day invite Dr. Harris and Dr. Zucker to a talk show or at least a webinar with my friend in my country.
Amazing to say the least! I was there las year and revisit again with this video takes me back; I can smell and feel the centuries again. Is a shame that I did't knew about Smarthistory before my trip, is constant learning. Thanks!
I had no idea it ended up so deep in dirt! It's a lovely image of the cows grazing amongst these overgrown ruins. I love the neo-classical/romantic period of art for exploring these ideas. There is beauty in abandoned structures, but I'm so glad we're able to enjoy the forum ruins in their fullest extent. Great work as always guys - you rock! 🤘🏽
You had me at "glorious, sunny December day." Sounds luscious. 😌 It's amazing to hear how much Rome's changed over time. It helps me appreciate how much the world's changed - and is thankfully still changing.
Great info. I've been to the Roman Forum a couple of times and it really never made any sense to me. Thank you for helping me to understand the lay of the land.
Heraclius, arguably the last "Roman" emperor, who changed the official language of the empire to Greek, was crowned in the Palatine hill palace of Domitian, still intact at the beginning of the 7th century. The forums were the center of Roman life until the earthquakes and floods shortly after 800.
Wrong on both counts. Firstly, Heraclius didn't "change the official language" (there was no such thing as an official language in the 7th Century), and secondly, Heraclius never even visited Rome for his entire reign, and certainly wasn't crowned there.
Hi there, would it be possible to cover the Arab-norman period of Sicily? It would be a pleasure to have an outlook of the Monreale cathedral along with the Palatine chapel in Palermo and Cefalù Duomo. Thanks and have a good day!
@@renatakosenko3140 Oh, but isn't it true that he at least claimed to be a Christian even though he may still have been devoted to Apollo in his heart of hearts?
Andreas Ryde For sure, he supported Christians and having his Mom St Helen, devoted to Christ, he respected them, but we don’t have any evidence for Constantine claiming himself Christian or baptizing before his deathbed. Even though if you visit Raphael rooms in the Vatican , you’ll see young Constantine being baptized , or we have a porphyry bath in Lateran we he was believed to be baptized , but those seem to be myths crated by the Popes.
Yes, though using the footprint of the building begun by Julius and finished by Augustus, itself the 3rd such structure. The whole point of the video is the complexity of the site and its buildings.
Every day I hopw you will never stop making videos. ^,^ they are so interesting and helpful

Thank you for the kind response, we are delighted to know that Smarthistory has been helpful. We do hope to visit Indonesia someday.
I am in school watching this right now an I love it

Art history, asmr voices, this is darn good content!!
In another documentary, it was found out that the marble statues and other white statues were in fact painted in ancient times.
Yes, and if you look closely at the recreation by Rome Reborn at :38 seconds, you will see the pediment sculpture is painted.
Great video!
very informative!
Good post.

4:24 Ah, I used to live in city called Santi Cosma et Damiano.
Typical governments, letting nice buildings fall into disrepair ! ;-P
I'm pretty sure Constantine converted to christianity long before his deathbed. Or have I gotten that completely wrong?
There’s no historical evidence to this, as we know Constantine was devoted to Apollo. But this myth was widespread by Catholic Church.

The senate house featured was built during the reign of Diocletian.
