    Could you imagine looking at this statue during the early 300s, it would have been a marvel!
    Also great video, great energy, and great camera angles. This is quickly becoming my favorite channel.

    A wonderful reconstruction of the ancient statute. Especially with original pieces.

    I love it! Great job! I did think that they had thought he had some kind of crown or halo on his head though?

    I have seen the fragments of the statue on my several trips to Rome, but it was for me simply fragments. This reconstruction always me to see what it was like. Thank you from NYC 🗽

    Fascinating!!! I knew they were doing a reconstruction--so it's intriguing to see the finished work in place.

    I've seen the original pieces and looking forward to see the statue in my next visit soon. My feelings about it are mixed, it looks artificial to me. I hope they won't recreate the Colossus of Nero. This would be, indeed, like Disneyland. Nice to see Elyssa Bernard !😊

    I think it’s great. So many times, we don’t even know what we are looking at when we pass by history.
    This makes you appreciate the art and skills way back then. It also makes you question if there was technology that was wiped out completely, because Ancient Rome was such a beautiful city with beautiful structures and amazing architecture. And also all that marble came in from Africa. How did they move all that back then?! It’s really amazing to think about.
    This is such a great channel and I always go through it before I visit Rome to learn and see so many things I wouldn’t have known about.

      Didn't the Romans source a lot of their marble from Greece and from quarry outside of Carrara in northern Tuscany? The "exotic" marble came from North Africa.

      That is very true! These types of reconstructions help us “fill the gaps” where our imagination struggles to arrive.
      The Romans imported their marbles from all over the empire: Africa, Middle East, Greece.. and also from some quarries in the Italian peninsula.
      They transported those marble through boats, and cranes.. they had very smart and sophisticated tools, which do not differ so much from what are in use today.
      Right now there is an exhibition inside the Colosseum, about Trajan’s column, where they very clearly show how they physically cut and transported those giant blocks of marbles. If you’re going to be in Rome any time soon (before April 30th), we recommend checking that exhibit 😉

    As one from the ancient civilisation, I understand your feelings. Rome was a great empire and it rose to a great height. But like us, Rome also made a mistake and paid the price. We forgot that Peace is for the weak in body and crippled in mind and so did Rome.
