Le Roma de Constantino

(Le Roma de Constantino)

Multe partes del Roma de Constantino tosto essera disponibile in un reconstruction informatic. Le projecto comenciava ante dece annos a UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). Illo reconstrue le major parte de Roma durante le anno 320 (tres centos vinti) C.E., quando le population del urbe esseva a su maximo de plus que 1.000.000 (un million de) inhabitantes.

Per le uso de mappas historic, photographos a base de scannatores de laser, e le cognoscimentos de archeologos, artistas, e architectos de Europa e le Statos Unite, le informaticos qui ha travaliate in iste projecto ha construite simulationes de 7.000 (septe mille) edificios e 31 (trenta e un) monumentos, includente le Coliseo e alteres que ha cadite a in ruinas, como le Templo de Venere e le senato roman.

Iste modelo informatic monstra quasi omne le urbe intra su muros Aurelian como illo esseva ante 1.700 (mille septe centos) annos.

Bernard Frischer, le director del projecto, diceva que illo dara a historicos, latinistas, e studentes juvene un nove e plus realistic maniera de examinar iste periodo del historia roman.

On pote entrar in iste Roma informatic e examinar omne su partes, volante super le arco de Constantino, pro exemplo, o descendente a in le cavias subterranee del Coliseo, ubi leones e altere animales feroce se immagazinava ante lor luctas contra le gladiatores del imperio.

Iste ressource permitte que on studia plus exactemente como Roma appareva durante iste epocha e imagina como illo functionava. Il anque es possibile studiar plus exactemente le frescos e inscriptiones del epocha--e anque le apparentia de multe edificios que nunc se trova in ruinas o coperite per le immunditias del pollution atmospheric del Roma contemporanee.

Partes de iste projecto nunc es disponibile a [www.romereborn.virginia.edu].

Many parts of Constantine's Rome soon will be available in a computerized reconstruction. The project started ten years ago at UCLA. It reconstructs most of Rome during the year 320 (three twenty) C.E., when the population of the city was at is maximum of more than 1,000,000 (one million) inhabitants.

Through the use of historical maps, laser-scanner photographs, and the knowledge of archeologists, artists, and architects from Europe and the United States, the computerists who have worked on this project have constructed simulations of 7,000 (seven thousand) buildings and thirty-one monuments, including the Coliseum and others that have fallen into ruin, such as the Temple of Venus and the Roman Senate.

This computerized model shows almost the entire city within its Aurelian walls the way it was 1,700 (a thousand seven hundred) years ago.

Bernard Frischer, the project director, said that it will give historians, Latinists, and young students a new and more realistic way of examining this period of Roman history.

A person can enter this computerized Rome and examine all its parts, flying above the Arch of Constantine, for example, or descending into the subterranean cages of the Coliseum, where lions and other ferocious animals were confined before their fights with the gladiators of the empire.

This resource allows a person to study more exactly what Rome looked like during this era and to imagine how it worked. It is also possible to study more exactly the frescos and inscriptions of that era--and also the appearance of many buildings that are now in ruins or covered up by the filth of atmospheric pollution of contemporary Rome.

Parts of this project are now available at [www.romereborn.virginia.edu].
