The virtual tour of ancient Rome will allow one to retrace the footsteps of gladiators, philosophers, centurions and senators. All this can be done through Google Earth, and the 3D map is designed to give web users, students and historians a better understanding of how Rome looked centuries ago. There are more than 6,700 buildings to explore, and scholars have provided information about many of the key monuments and sights to act as a guide for the virtual citadel.
The software, which shows Rome at the height of its development in 320AD, was developed by Google in association with the Universtity of California and University of Virginia.
