- This is a 3D reconstruction of a typical upper class Roman home called a domus. The reconstruction, model and textures was created by Ancientvine. The animation and music created by Museum Victoria. This would be a typical roman domus of a "well to do" Roman family.

For 2,000 years ago it looks very ahead of its time.
if the empire had not fallen now the emperor reigned over an intergalactic empire
Well even ancient Egypt was like this back then, crazy how society back then look so ahead of it time
Yes really advanced for that time
2000 years is quite a blip compared to how old humanity really is.
There were civilizations much much older than the Romans and they were already pretty advanced, relatively speaking.
@@AgentMorbid Indeed. Rome copied a lot from other cultures
I live in the tropics and this house would be perfect for the conditions bar a few modifications. I love the central atrium and the rain water collection
Make sure the mosquitos don't get in
I'd add raised lips to the rooftop opening, to catch rain blowing sideways and make it drop down, for example, instead of blowing around the inside of the room.
Selma Cat Ikr? It’s beautiful and so useful. I used to live in other tropics. Many parts of colonial So. America had houses built on this model-I worked in a house that was being preserved as a museum, and family members in Peru had ancestral homes in this style that were still in family and business use. The houses adapted to So. America used a chain-atria fashion, with the entry from the street leading into the more formal open-roofed garden, rooms ranged around the square, with large doors into a second open-roofed atrium with more rooms, often including a kitchen and a food prep area, storage rooms, and with a third atrium behind that, used for stables, working equipment, workers quarters, stock rooms, material storage, and so forth with a sturdy gate to the back access street or alley. The fountains and gardens in each atrium kept the house cool, provided all kinds of flowers, herbs and vegetables, a tranquil background to a busy house, collection points for water, a sluice-way to keep the working areas clean, and good healthy air flow. I still dream about the houses I knew, some still in their original format, others split into smaller units and no longer a coherent form, some still elegant, others running gently downhill...I remember a great-aunt sitting in shadows as the afternoon dimmed in a faded ballroom, reminiscing about the grand parties they had there when she was a girl, when the great room was freshly whitewashed, the portraits of the family rehung high on the walls, garlands of orchids, sweet smelling rushes on the stone floors. (The portraits were still there, some painted life-sized, kind of creepy)
Alexander Azarov There were, in some versions of this, tiled sluice-runs along the edge of the open roof that ran water down into cisterns at the corners of the garden.
You can find a lot of houses like this in the historical centers of latinamerican cities, in fact I lived in one of those and I din't like it. There are modern versions but the atrium is not in the center but in a corner, which I think makes it not longer an atrium
The architecture as well as the furniture seem incredibly modern!
Yes
I confirm
:)
I agree, it looked very modern. It looked much like my friends home in Brazil. But then again, when I visited their home I thought: "It looks very ancient." I guess this style just has become timeless. "This works."
@@larsrons7937 Latin america colonial homes used to be kind of like that, the houses were square shaped or rectangular or variations of square form, with the rooms of the house around a central open area, like an atrium with a fountain or something like that, big narrow but vertical windows around the house and inside to the atrium, that allowed the house to have a good ventilation and keep a cooler temperature, and the kitchens usually was at the back of the house or in the open in the back yard to keep the heat out
To be a wealthy Roman about the time of the Pax Romana could've been pretty sweet.
On the down side even the wealthy Romans only lived till 40ish

What is so amazing about this demo is how ancient Roman homes look so much like modern homes do!! In fact, it you simply replaced the writing tablet on the desk with a laptop, this could be any Mediterranean villa today...
Nothing is new.
We find lot of these villas buried in my region. Tunisia was a very important roman province.
There's a Town in Tunisia with a very interesting amphitheatre: I think its name Is Thysdrus
@@fashion8751 that's the region I'm taikin' about. Roman name was thysdrus. Actually ir's Eljem. My farm is about 10 km south.
Yes. Leptis Magna, Home Town of Emperor Septimus Severus
Who asked you
@@JsRazza Nobody asked anything. Who asked you to send the comment? You did, that's right, so did he.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Something elegant, something simple and utilitarian. Very cozy but yet opulent in it's own way with so much artistic expression. A means of water collection, a "stove", an altar in the corner. And columns always a magnificent touch. I imagine lives of passion, meaning and much love. There's something truly awesome and majestic about Roman advancements and genius in architecture, engineering and civic planning. So grandiose, so ambitious.
Yes and to live with beautiful things all around...artwork on walls...precious altar...love the stove top...rich color...care put into the preparation of good food...the Romans never did anything just a little bit...it was all out or nothing...whether it be for the good or for the worse
You should watch Mary Beard's documentaries! She really brings Rome to life. The beauty you describe isn't history. Rome wasn't very different from modern times. Yes there is beauty and opulence and we romanticize it in our mind. But to most romans, Rome was a dirty, drab place where most lived in cramped appartments. Having said that, I love Greco-roman architecture! I can see it today with Neo Classical buildings. Washington D.C. is dotted with roman style buildings and statues.
@@roddo1955 reading Alberto Angela's A Day In Rome. I think he'd have some things to say about the idea that Romans "never did anything half way." Roman apartments collapsed all the time.
@@drewbryk
What are you aming at...???
Nice try at minimizing the absolute splendor and the glory of rome...what you speak of was obviously poor areas over the course of hundreds of years...silly man
And now Italians are still the best in creation in different things , architecture, fashion, arts, ...
I visited Pompeii’s famous House of the Menander a few years ago and was blown away with how well preserved and sophisticated it was after almost 2,000 years. Looked just like this except even bigger. Just imagine what their palaces looked like. Amazing.
I want to live in a house like this. It's gorgeous. I want to be wealthy too. Love the colors and the design. Great video, thanks
Me too
no need to be wealthy for this ;)
Seems like a style that should have remained in vogue. The central walkthrough provides cross ventilation from end to end - keeping side rooms cooler and refreshed. Earthen walls should capture some of the humidity, particularly on the coasts. Keeping the sun at bay also allows side room to remain cool during daylight. These were thoughtfully designed buildings.
Yeah, I'd love to live in there.
It's amazing because there wouldn't be any electricity. Plus no doors. Oh and I can collect water in the impluvium.
XYZ there are any doors what do you talk?
You'll have splinters on your butt everytime you poo on that wooden board there 2:46
@rochelimit - who told you such a thing?
Me too but I'd get some sort of wifi, electricity, and a real water system in there
Just wonderful. The modern technology gives us the chance to dive deep into the past and see animations like this one.
Despite of all the dangerous and wrong things with modern technology is this a precious gift.
A very large Villa has just been found in yorkshire. It is actually dated from original building around 120ad and dated to mid 4c. Apparently it's huge and is thought to be a one of a kind in the whole Roman empire. Reason of building is so far unknown but could be religious. The Romans were amazing in there time for the structures they built !
No comparison to the glass and steel Sterile, Soulless Bland modern Architecture! Thank you for your Great presentation!
I love Roman architecture
What beautiful red! I love red interiors! Ancient people still had great taste!
This is fascinating, and isn't much different from upper class homes of today. They were very advanced for their time. I wonder how advanced we'd be if Rome did not fall and the middle ages never happened.
I always click on these and am so glad you showed ALL of the house, most do NOT! Magnificant work, thank you!❤😊
It’s ANCIENT, yet it’s beauty and opulence makes it seem and feel quite contemporary to me!
Though I'm not a huge fan of the exterior designs of villas, I do find their interior design pretty captivating and lively.
This roman house is AMAZ!NG !!!!!!!
I was not expecting it to be this luxurious...
WOW! 1:32 So beautiful! Long time ago I visited a house with a patio very similar to this. All the house revolve around the patio, all the rooms, the kitchen, everything... I love the background music, too! Thanks for posting this 🌟😊
Beautifully done. Something wonderful about the architecture of Rome. This house looks very cozy. I try to imagine the lives and loves that have long left this Earth.
What a gorgeous way of life. They have basically the same things we do in a home. I wish I had a time machine.
Grazie, mi fa sognare - thank you, it makes me dream
This technology at service of humanity! Thank you. Great work!
Splendida musica🎵🎼 e ottima ricostruzione degli ambienti👏❤️❤️❤️
please do one on Egyptian home's rich an poor😊 thank you.
Do you have some reference material for me to go by?
What for?
And, a Greek house, too.
Very much like a modern home but at the same time it's ancient, you get the feeling of timeless beauty.
What a beautiful and interesting reconstruction! Thanks.
Lovely reconstruction!
Stylishly modern, radiating with the grandeur of Imperial Rome.
It feels like you’re inside and outside at the same time
Love this.....simple and beautiful.
Yes, please post more. I would love if you would do some aerial views/footprints and perhaps how it tied into the household agriculture.
I will build house like this for myself! I would love living in domus like that. It is so beautiful and as elegant as practical.
Great video. You make ancient ruins life again.
Beautiful video.Music too.
Casa del Menandro.
Some time ago I had seen this masterpiece, then I lost it, now I've found it again! Thanks!
I did exactly the same thing
👍👍👍
I think I'm going to use your 3D images as inspiration for my creative Sims building of a Roman villa. Thank you for all your hard work to create and share this.
Stunning video. My thanks for the hard work.
Gratidão!!! Vídeo magnífico!!!
Simply stunning
This is the nicest rendering of an ancient Roman home I've seen. I like that you show the interior decorating complete with furnishings. I especially like the lady/girl's bedroom with the pink pillows and bed covers.
You have to remember only few would have enjoyed this kind of living most would have lived in cramped conditions hard working lives. Nevertheless for a few would have been grand splendour.
Thank you for such a beautiful and creative video 🌷 And again, it seems that not much has changed since then.
bello soprattutto per uno che deve studiare roma, bellissimo complimenti !!!!!!
Increíble. Excelente video. Te traslada en el tiempo. 👍
Beautifully! But ... Why clines in triclinium are not right? Where are carpets? Where doors? Carpets as skiff,s carpet in Hermitage. Doors as from Pompeii. Where is library?
That’s Attia of the Julii’s house. I ate there once with Marc Antony and Caesar. I’ve been around.
Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Thanks I needed some sort of layout just for reference for something I am doing
How wonderful
Beautiful. Home
So cool!!
I think my southwest home's builder took inspiration from Roman and some Egyptian architecture. We have tall ceilings, perfect for heat to escape up. The patio door and front door are directly across each other down a hall to create an open channel for cool air to circulate. All the bathrooms have a skylight. The windows have shutters we can close during the hotter times of the day or during the very strong winds of March. There are natural niches in the walls of the halls for knickknacks, but we keep them empty because they have recessed lights and act as gentle night lights. The bedrooms have spaces above the doors that can open to allow circulation but still keep privacy. There is a rain catchment system that can be used to water the plants outside during drought conditions. We have a courtyard with fruit trees and grapevines. Pomegranates, grapes, and date trees grow extremely well in the southwest. A central circular grill is the centerpiece of the yard, where we entertain.
Thank you for the insightful video. If I may, I find that the use of glass windows is quite underrated. Many rich houses had indeed glass windows since the 1th century onward and Cicero himself says it. We know that the Romans improved glass and made it more popular and cheaper until the 5th century when even architecture, as any other science, quickly declined.
I like how there are no windows on the outside if you want to look at nature you go to the middle of the house and it shines in to the Courtyard that is surrounded by building. I like this in contrast to the modern style of having a building that looks outward to the nature nature I have no control of. Like if I look outside of my window right now to get some sunshine I see other peoples buildings I don't want to see other people so if you build it this way not only does it put a good strong sturdy wall on the outside of your house protecting you from other people but it allows a nice safe haven in the middle for you to enjoy the nature without people in it. I'm a big fan I've always wanted to build a Roman ville up mixed with a Japanese style looking house..
I visited Tempio Capitolino today. Amazing how the temple developed over ages, with homes nearby, then came the Middle Ages and everything came to rack and ruin, covered in a 5 m thick layer of dust.
Lovely.
Amazing!
Precioso documento. Se puede apreciar la belleza que imperaba en la construcción de las viviendas a diferencia de los griegos.
very nice video! it helped me a lot for my tests! ❤
Very informative.
Splendid!
Wonderful
Cool, I'm learning about Rome now so yeah.
I would love to find modern wallpaper that is a perfect copy of those walls!...thanks for the video,the music adds the right touch!
Look for craft produced wall paper.
The interior decoration looks rather gaudy to my eyes.
@@johnroberts8233
Not at all.
At those times we lived in filthy huts! An incredible ancient civilisation
Its beautiful.
Очень красивая реконструкция.
waouh it is the beautiful and very cozy !!!!! the video is very super !!!!! very good!!!
really well detailed and interesting
Thanks so much my friend.
OMG. THANKS FOR POSTING!
Very interesting, but it could be a much better presentation with the video "tour" slowed down a bit, and an informative narrative. It would be much more impressive.
I lived in Brinidsi on the east coast of Italy, and I cannot imagine living there in a wide open house. The mosquito is the national bird, and it gets VERY cold there! The residents of this house must have spent their winters in North Africa.
North Africa was indeed an important part of the Roman empire
You don't know what cold is you little bitch
@@user-ye6ty9ie8g you are a mere zero, a place holder, a hole but not an A-hole. Just an o hole. Noisy, loud and open. Silly, unhappy zero. You know there is no real help for you. Poor zero. Better not to breed.
That more than likely would have been a summer residence of a wealthy town patricians. It would have been one of their estates.
Just what I was thinking, how would you heat that large room with a great hole in the roof? Maybe they closed off all the other rooms and just heated those ones.
Bellissimo !!
Really good work.
Fantastic recreation. Looking forward to using virtual reality goggles for an immersive experience :-)
Excelente video
This house its my dream. I houpe i will build something looks like this villa in next future somewhere in Spain .
Yes, that is a very beautiful house. We think we are 2000 years ago!
Very nice
Amazing
They didn't believe in clutter did they?? Lol. Very neat and orderly homes. Very good.
If I was rich I'd definitely build a Roman style domus to live in.
Compare this smart and gracious style of that of the Dark Dges centuries later and the disparity is breathtaking.
Hoc video mihi magis placet!
I'd known quite a bit about this villa, before I found this virtual tour....... For me, really "adds to the experience....!" (There's better ways of describing how I feel, too "scatterbrained.") Overall... thanks for uploading.!.
:)
Very very well done...! :)))
Beautiful house! Very well made. Thank you for sharing! What’s the name of the music?
House of the Vine by Mick Gordon
This is super interesting
Brilliant
Damn, I would have rather lived like that than this 100x over.
You do not understand how easy todays world is.
You can make it today without an army or being born into wealth. Nine out of every ten wealthy people are self made.
@@bighands69 I get it, I lived a primitive/rustic existence for a while...but that being said,, I would take those surroundings over utilitarian-urban dystopia any day of the week.
@@gulagwarlord
You could build a house today like that if you really tried. Most people could.
Only those in the most fortunate life could live like that in Roman empire.
Beautifull
dude, this is cool
I cannot believe that people lived in such a modern and comfortable house more than two thousand years ago.
Living standards were not to rise to the same standard again until the 1600s. Human progress is not linear. It goes backwards as well as forwards.
Have you seen some of the antiquity stuff from China? Many skills were lost and re- invented.
I’d leave my modern home and move in tomorrow!
Given the environmental and cost impact of moden air conditioning I would not be suprised if we start using flowing water to help cool structures again. Plus its so cool (heh).
When I lived in a brick townhome built in 1884 to help pffset cooling costs we attatched a seeper hose at the top of the perimeter of the exterior walls. In the heat of the day we simply turned the hose on and it worked wonders.
In st. louis wasting water wasnt much concern, if anything it was conserving water as we were pulling water from the river and returning it to an underground water table (the house was built over a natural underground watershed, with numerous caves and the like.
Very cool place, would like to go back
Were you aware that you were eroding your foundation zone and risking long term damage? Not to mention encouraging termites and carpenter ants. Air conditioning rocks. I'm fairly certain the inventor was inspired by God.
Good job ! Is it possible to get a better quality and names of the different rooms ? The would be awesome !
i like it thanks
