The Times | A Roman villa in Somerset

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2022
- The Villa Ventorum has been rebuilt to emulate its original 4th century AD excellence. It sits on the 800-acre Newt estate in Somerset, and it is striking the level of detail archeologists, historians and architects were able to bring to life. The foundations of the original villa sit only a few meters away, on top of which a museum as been built.

Moltes gràcies! ❤ Thanks so much! Brittains are really good reproducing ancient times!
Amazing. As a big Ancient Rome follower, this is very pleasant for me to see.
Damn, Roman baths always look so nice, I want one in my house
Wow!
So what’s the rent? I won’t go over 500 sesterces a month.
Absolutely wonderful little trip through this magnificent re-creation. I hope to visit some day. Thank you.
I wish they could build a house like this now with modern comforts would happily live there
Lovely! Great job!
Beautiful awesome project, bringing a Roman villa to life❗
Well done! You have done a very good job! It is unique! She is very beautiful!
It’s not actually unique. Go to the Getty Villa in Malibu California. There’s been a recreation there for about 50 years. Mr.G was a billionaire so you know it’s real nice.
This is a beautiful recreation obviously, a lot of effort and care went into it. I must say, however, that in Malibu, California, billionaire J Paul Getty also re-created in great detail beautifully an example of a Roman villa, and it is on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Mediterranean climate, so maybe even closer to the original in terms of the Foliage the general weather. Moreover, Mr. Getty had acquired a number of statuary from various digs attributed to ancient Greece and Rome >(many of which have since been returned.) and decorated the villa with these artifacts. It really made museum going so much more immersive and planted a seed in my interest of ancient civilizations, especially ancient Rome. I don’t think of ancient Rome as ancient though, I think of it as the beginning of the modern era.
Wonderful work!!
Nice job. To me, the Roman villas always look cold, but I suppose compared to a Round house, probably pretty snug.
I remember reading in Britain BC, a book by the archaeologist Francis Pryor, that he had spent some time in a reconstruction of an Iron Age roundhouse during a storm and had been surprised at how cozy and warm it was inside. Despite the wind and rain there didn't appear to be any leaks, and the straw roof hadn't been blown off. Pryor isn't overly fond of the Romans though so he could be biased.
Apparently the round shape of the house is better at conserving heat in comparison to a square building although I am not a 100% sure about that.
@@bc7138 I imagine a round house could be snug. It must have been or my ancestors (some of them) would not have survived. On the other hand, the heat being piped thru the floors and walls sounds more appealing-unless you are the poor slave tasked with running the system, which would probably be my luck.
They had underfloor heating!
"This space.." Yes, it's a ROOM.
We are a group of volunteers supporting a roman villa in North Leigh Oxfordshire. It is an great video. Could we use the video and include our own voice over?
Hi and thank you for the comment. This is material of The Times so it may not be re-used.
Wonderful. But please never insult your viewers with anything less than 60 fps captures and rendering!
25 fps is literally a slideshow whenever the camera moves. Especially with a massive 144Hz screen.
I've never been so insulted as I was while watching this video. I'd go as far to say I feel violated by it. There was just far too much historical detail and enthusiasm for my sensibilities.
