That is a great recreation of the baths. Love seeing how it is supposed to look as apposed to what it looks like now stripped of adornments. Other baths are being shown here too such as the baths of Agrippa at 0:50-0:58 That is what is supposed to be attached to the back of Pantheon. Now the back is just hacked off and crap built behind. Also notice all the porticoes and green spaces perfect for chilling next door. It's a whole lot better than the claustrophobic crowded mess there now. Then there are baths of Trajan at 1:16-1:31 next door to the Colosseum .
Fun fact: some of the interiors of the Baths of Diocletian can still be seen in the modern day. I just learned a few weeks ago that the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which is a church IN THE MIDDLE of the baths, has preserved a good number of the columns and overall shapes of the interior. This church is right next to Rome's main train station. Of course, it's a church. But the interior looks remarkably like what the baths would've looked like in their Roman heyday.
@@H3llBaronUnfortunately the original floor is gone, and so are the columns in front of the four cold baths, the wonderful mosaics on the ceiling and most of the marbles on the walls.
Avec notre technologie moderne, nos moyens financiers, nos matériaux de construction ( ciment de toutes les couleurs, avec paillettes, que l' ont polit comme le marbre), et les modèles de Vitruve, nous serions bien incapables de réaliser pareilles merveilles ! Nos architectes ont perdu le sens de la beauté architecturale et de son impact sur la culture.Il nous construiraient une espèce de centre Pompidou avec les tuyaux de l' eau chaude ,tiède et froide, la fournaise, la chaufferie, les cables électriques ,le tout mis bien en évidence.La décoration serait confiée à d' anonymes barbouilleurs/euses ,adeptes du retour au primitif...et ces bains seraient bien vite parasités par les adeptes de l' anus !
There would have to be some massive cultural shift for that to happen. And honestly, this type of architecture works in other places too anyways, like penn station.
United States needs public baths for many reasons but I think it also needs drive-ins to come back that was really fun and something really good look forward to especially if it was a decent movie.
How did such beautiful Roman buildings become ruins? I bet early fanatical Christians were involved. Didn't some Christian sects believe that bathing the body was a sin? The Pantheon escaped their barbarity by becoming a Christian Church. Other masterpieces of Roman architecture were not that lucky.
You would lose your bet sir. The highly puritanical practice of Christianity did not emerge until the late Middle Ages. The Baths of Diocletian remained in use until 537 when the aqueducts to Rome were finally cut off by the Ostrogoths. Rome by that time was a shell of its former self and highly depopulated. There was little resources or manpower to repair its aging damaged structures, let alone the aqueducts. A great earthquake in 443 likely left many of the larger structures in the city damaged or weakened as did another major quake in 618. A severe quake in 801 followed by another in 847 likely collapsed many of the larger ancient structures and this accelerated the process of despoliation of the city's ancient buildings for their marble, iron, bronze, and ornaments. Not to mention the periodic fires that ravaged the city over the ages.
@@element5999Anyway, every single Roman monument surviving till this day except the Coliseum has survived because it was turned into a church. Look at this fact: the baths of Caracalla were not turn into a church-> they are a ruin. The baths of Diocletian were turned into a church-> they are not a ruin. Also, even wonderful ancient churches like Santo Stefano Rotondo were spoiled of all their precious marbles to build baroque churches, and others were demolished, like the Costantinian st Peter basilica with the two mausolea of Santa Petronilla and Honorian mausoleum which were razed to the ground to make room for the new basilica. These mausolea hosted the tombs of late antiquity Roman emperors!

Yes. Michelangelo made this. He had some respect for original structure so he just made a church in same ambient without destroy anything.

Very imaginative creation
Non è fantasiosa, le terme di Diocleziano, erano così maestose Ome vengono descritte
would’ve loved to spend a day here

Wish we still had public bathing in our modern world, but with a retention of this architecture
