@@DallasMay 100x this. 99.99% of Roman structures are gone. We're seeing the few that escaped destruction. The flak towers in Berlin will probably still be around in 2000 years too if we don't knock them down ourselves.
The survivorship bias is absolutely true. The buildings that survive are by far the exception. The Roman equivalent of apartment buildings and things of that nature did not last. The things that did, are the sort of grand monuments, funded by the wealth of emperors and built by slaves over many years. That is why those ones are the ones that are still around. If we in the present wanted to dedicate the time, resources, and effort to build things that would last thousands of years, we totally could. However, the cost of doing that is generally not considered worth it in the current day.

I'm from the Philippines, and as a citizen of a country that was colonized by the Spanish Empire for 333 years, I always get fascinated and look unto their influence and it roots back to the Romans, their architecture, traditions, and language, could be seen also in our country and it feels crazy. Most of our old buildings and some words in our language are of Latin influence while being in the far east Asia.
in Greece we have these old apartment buildings surrounding everything, be it ancient greek and roman or even neoclassical. Only in a few places we have laws for building in a specific design. That's even worse.
@@rensd12 Not all of them but a lot for sure. But few things to think of before saying "boo roman bad". The Roman Empire stayed for a long time because it had a good and working system. Far better than the provinces they "conquered" and vastly improved life quality all over the place. Talking about conquest, they often took the head of the provinces with little to no force at all. In fact some of them were still governed by the same people. And finally, for the vast majority of the provinces they took were in the past colonised or invaded by other populations. Roman were not the first and not the last. And people tend to only put colonisation next to white/western civilisations, but they represent very little to all conquests/invasions the world have seen.

The coliseum in Nimes, France, is also well preserved. They still hold events (mostly bull fights) and concerts over there. I was impressed by it when I visited.
I'm somewhat of a History buff and when I backpacked alone through western Europe at 25, I was hitchhiking and by pure chance stumbled upon it when I was dropped in Nîmes by some butcher going to work. I was... pleasantly surprised and amazed.
I went to Split, and did not realize it was there until I went to the city center. I was blown away at how amazing it was, and that it was just...there. just wow.
You are right about Hagia Sophia, it should be counted as well, the building was built 200 year or so after the tetrarchy and it is during the late Roman imperial era and early byzantine.
The Romans were pretty awesome and left so much behind in some very far reaching places, I wonder how many modern buildings will survive 2000 years or more? Enjoyed the video, Thanks.
Visiting Pula, Croatia was an unexpected excellent experience. Sitting in a cafe just across from the Temple if Augustus, the amphitheater is amazing, the Venetian fortress high above the city is well preserved. Can’t wait to go back.
I am enjoying your videos immensely. I am an architect and am obsessed with architecture for I can talk about it 24 hours a day. I have always said Rome is the seat of architecture. As they took over other civilizations they took their knowledge and created a large library with the knowledge of the concord world. They also took the best building technology like the arch and rebuild the concord world. You are not only my favorite European historian but the most handsome and sexy one also! Keep it up man! 😎
Great video series! I want to remind you of Hagia Sofia, Valens Aqueduct, Basilica Cistern, Chora Church, Maiden's Tower and Walls of Istanbul, which cannot be missed!
0:26 - Alcantara Bridge, Spain 2:00 - Amphitheater of El Djem, Tunisia 3:15 - City Walls of Lugo, Spain 4:19 - Temple of Augustus, Pula,Croatia 6:00 - Amphitheater of Pula (Arena) - Croatia 7:30 - Lighthouse of Hercules, La Coruna, Spain 9:07 - Porchester Castle, England 10:20 - Rotunda of Galerius, Thessaloniki, Greece
There are also lots of aquaducts , city walls or cities like Ephesus with greatly preserved Roman buildings in Turkey. Hoped for seeing one of them but still nice video 👍🏻.
For me, the Arch and Rotunda are in a sad state in Salonica. Seems there is a minimal effort to protect them and nearly no effort to restore/preserve. I'm glad it is at least protected. 🙏
The Google Earth-like zooming between locations is one of the best ways I've seen to quickly demonstrate the relative locations of each site. Really great job overall!! 👍🏼🏛🦅🛡 You very easily have a new subscriber!
in Greece we have thousands of well preserved Roman era buildings - but I know, the west only acknowledges the short-lived "western" Roman empire, not the one who survived for a thousand more years. I just can't help but notice you included the Rotonta. In thessaloniki we have dozens like this
Fabulous videos; I'm so glad I found you! :) One you might be interested in is the Roman baths at the town of Bath in Somerset, England. It's well worth a visit.
Oh thank you! 🙏 Yeah I considered having it in this video, and it's a fantastic bath, but it was so heavily rebuilt during the victorian era I decided against it 🤔
I've been to Pula. It's a lovely temple. There's a lovely amphitheatre in Terragona Spain you might be interested in. These are great vignettes! Thank you!
Man, the Romans truly were amazing. Really humans are just so amazing, obviously we have the capacity to do terrible things but when watching a video like this I can't help but feel pride. It's sad to think of all the history lost to war and time, but even still we have these great structures.
Wow, I didn't know about the Rotunda of Galerius. Thanks for making this video. I'm a very big admirer of the Ancient Romans, but only today did I learn of such a well preserved Roman building. Nor did I know about Portchester Castle.
Also for me thank you very much that's great information ography of these great Roman structures.. especially those bridges thanks again we'll keep watching
there's a pretty cool amphitheater in cartegena in spain, they uncovered it I think 20 years ago and their in the process of semi restoring it and protecting the rest of it
You can do a second part, I think you missed many Roman buildings such as the aqueduct of Segovia or the theater of Merida or the Coliseum of Nimes. Thanks for the video 👍
Sadly all movie depictions of Rome only focus on war/gladiators/sex. But you have to have really strong economy/normal life to be able to build and maintain such structures and culture.
It is fascinating how Roman Empire could be seen as a military/politic/economic and architectural giant yet in science they didnt shine that much. Funny how they were so smart and intellectual on those three thing and not in science.
@@antoniopaveskovic1990 Science is a very broad topic. All of the things mentioned could be considered sciences. If by sciences you mean chemistry, physics, or stuff like that, Roman concrete was technically a chemistry-esque invention of theirs, Its odd composition allowed it to be incredibly water resistant. In physics, pretty much all of architecture is using some kind of physics. Warfare had to make use of the technologies of the time of course, think metal weapons and armor. The thing about words is that they hold different meanings for everyone, if slightly, so what does science mean to you?
Great video, but you know, to please people you should have done the 800 exceptionally well preserved Roman buildings… Anyhow, Roman times are my favorite in history. Thanks for your work.
You didn't put Diocletian mausoleum now cathedral in Split Croatia, also in Split exist Jupiter Temple, Peristyle square, best preserved Roman cellar etc.
In my town in the south of England all that remains of Rome is a tiny section of wall from the old city wall. It's only about 3 metres tall now and no more than 10 metres long. Still cool though cos it dates back to the first invasion of Britain by Julius Caesar over 2000 years ago
There is a Amphitheater in Trier, Germany that is covered with moss but is very nice still. It was built around 100 A.D. Coordinates: 49° 44′ 53″ North, 6° 38′ 57″ East. Thanks
I think they need to restore the colosseum, it just feels like it's appropriate since it is such a functional building and it can still be used by today's entertainments such as concerts and other events.
in Greece we have these old appartement buildings surrounding everything, be it ancient greek and roman or even neoclassical. Only in a few places we have laws for building in a specific design. Everyone in the 60s and 70s started building these monstrosities so they can make money renting. You can clearly see it at 11:20 . It is a shame because we have almost everything. We have lots of mountains but also a lot of beaches and islands, ancient greek and roman ruins, medieval castles and monasteries and some good neoclassical areas . Then you go to a city, small town and sometimes even a village and you see the appartement vomit.
i remember watching a promotional piece on the movie "Gladiator" and it showed how they took the ruins from The Flavian Amphitheater and used CGI to repair the ruins. What they didn't tell us was they shot parts of it in Amphitheater of El Djem. They probably didn't mention it because your average viewer on History Channel wouldn't know or care about a second ancient amphitheater.
WOW !! thanks for sharing, at Pula croatia, you have aslo another Roman survivor : a Triumph arch ! at his actual place the street is below than ground level ! lol ............ Take care SPQR Aeternia !
The city walls, safeguarded from invaders from the outside and safeguarded their slaves from leaving on the inside. The Romans almost thought of everything. EXcellent video thanks
Thankyou so much for your video, looks like we're off to Nimes for a look round..... there is also a beautifully preserved Aqueduct just outside Tarragona in Spain and infact Tarragona itself has many Roman features including a chariot race track, walls and an Amphitheatre all very well preserved.
2 more to add to the list: porta nigra as well as the Konstantinbasilika (Augusta Trevevorum, one of the best preserved roman closed aula buildings, looking at it you wouldn't think it older than a 100 years) in Trier and St. Gereon's church in Cologne (though it has been extended and altered over the millenia, but the prechristian spheral dome is still at its centre)
Un grande teatro romano intatto nei pressi di antalya in Turchia, il teatro di Amman in Giordania, L'acquedotto a Istanbul, Turchia,il vallo di Adriano in G.B. e tanto altro in Africa, medio oriente .
Thanks! I'm not sure yet, but that's what I'm working on at the moment. I might hold on it tho because I know the next video after Nerva will be a long one... 😉

Understandable, those people achieved something remarkable, its like if we in our time would colonize a quarter of our solar system,
Makes me feel sick when I hear that these beautiful feats of engineering were destroyed/damaged in war.

In Germany, Trier there are many nice preserved Roman buildings as Porta Nigra, The Palatine (Basilika of Constantine) and Kaiserthermen also More!
I can confirm this one. Have been there about a month ago. Magnificent sights
My favorite german city!
I wish you would have mentioned Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia. It's extremely beautiful!
I went to Split, and did not realize it was there until I went to the city center. I was blown away at how amazing it was, and that it was just...there. just wow.
Testament to their engineering that their works still stand after so many centuries.
