Forum Romanum — 2,600 years of time layers (3D)

About this app

The Forum as a working model on the real ground plan: a time slider from the regal period via Campo Vaccino to today, buildings appear and disappear, a ground section shows the metres of fill. Every building with dating, dimensions, source and degree of certainty (standing, excavated, reconstruction); today's buildings from OpenStreetMap.
