WOW I wished I had seen a video like this when we were visiting the Baths of Diocletian this past August. Now we have to go again. Thanks again for another UNIQUE, insightful and interesting video!
Ancient Rome greatly comes to life, here. What I find especially good is the sober, modern style of the explanatory plates on the walls. With such a sober layout it's easier to grasp that ancient Rome really has existed not only in our books, that it isn't just a myth. Outside of Italy such a misconception again and again can begin to creep into one's mind.
@@AncientRomeLive I have been to Rome (during my current life) only one time, so far - as a child. I felt surprised because the place appeared as familiar to me. A row of pinus pinea (umbrella pine) exemplars over the Forum Romanum or so suddenly began to stir up age-old remembrances in me, somewhere deep on layers of the subconscious. This felt unpleasant, but I later have got infatuated with ancient Rome so much that I since a long time hope to get an opportunity of going there again. I first hoped I could go there when I was a student of history in Vienna, but a scarcity of money, as well as other difficulties, hindered me. Meanwhile I'm happy that I have not yet gone then, because it would have been ridiculous. I would hardly have known anything. For example, I've only much later realized that apart from the Pantheon also several other buildings of the antiquity in the urbs are still in use and have always been it - Christian churches from the last centuries of the empire. Your channel so far appears to me as the best resource I can rely on in an endeavor to overcome such ignorance.
There are a lot of mid priced hotels in that area , and its a good place to stay. The Palazzo Massimo (unbelievably wonderful) and Baths of Diocletian are right there, as well as the convenience of the train station. We stay at Hotel Lucilla Augusta.
WONDERFUL CONTENT! I love all of your blogs. The music has been reduced which makes it much easier to understand the scholars. I would eliminate the music altogether.
Oh please, no, do not eliminate all of the music! It feels good, so it certainly will be a healthy addition. It lends additional vividness to the video. In ancient Rome there also will have been music. The city was utterly crowded. You needed a day to cross it on foot, so crowded was it. I do not know if this crowdedness has _eliminated_ music, and apparently musical pieces of that culture have not yet been reconstructed, but eliminating the music from such videos could certainly conjure up a mistaken calmness.
So that horse bridle is 8th C BC? Would that be the earliest reference to Aeneas in Rome? This seems like important proof that the Romans were telling this story about themselves from early on. Yes? No?
I forgot to ask - when we visited this past summer, in that outdoor courtyard there was an audio recording of what sounded like a Roman pagan ceremony. Can you tell me what this is from and what it was saying in latin?

It was news to us as well. We were not aware of this connection. Seems very interesting, no? We'll see if we can find more references to it.
Yeah you might’ve missed it but she said exactly that! So cool
@@cmasad1she's hot!
Interesting
Sir have you been to Diocletian palace in Split?
Darius has filmed a couple of shows there. We will share a video on it in the near future.
I forgot to ask - when we visited this past summer, in that outdoor courtyard there was an audio recording of what sounded like a Roman pagan ceremony. Can you tell me what this is from and what it was saying in latin?
Ah yes that’s another video - it’s the carmen saeculare - hymn by Horace
Hahahaha
At 6:14 all the cars in the video are going backwards.
Congratulations, i love roman empire
Thank you!
