More about this course
  • Take a guided tour around ancient Rome with expert Professor Matthew Nicholls, using his detailed and award-winning 3D digital model of the city. Explore Rome's architecture and how it was used - how did Romans worship their gods and meet their political masters? How was drinking water supplied to the city's million inhabitants? Moving seamlessly between footage of contemporary Rome and the digital model (including interactive elements), you'll explore these questions and much more.
  • Use this insight to inform your own encounters with the eternal city and the study of ancient history more generally.
