My spiders brought back this video from Youtube showing (rather hastily in spots) what the various monuments of Rome were like before Mussolini et al started digging … kind of interesting from a ‘see how far we’ve come’ point of view:
rogueclassicism: 1. n. an abnormal state or condition resulting from the forced migration from a lengthy Classical education into a profoundly unClassical world; 2. n. a blog about Ancient Greece and Rome compiled by one so afflicted (v. "rogueclassicist"); 3. n. a Classics blog.

Reblogged this on Indiana Jen and commented: Very cool
luck down memory lane.
I also reblogged at
http://garydevore.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/rome-1920s-ce/ There’s
one, possibly two errors in the film. Back then, folk thought any
round temple was to Vesta. The one given to her at 0:32 is really
the so-called Temple of Hercules Victor in the Forum Boarium. The
other possible error is the “House of the Vestals” at 1:57. Either
it is really the Basilica Julia, or the film is reversed, given the
position of the Temple of Antoninus in the background. Great find
David!
