My first impressions were WOW! as Google announced the launch of a it’s new 3D layer for Google Earth. By far it is one the most extensive collection of three-dimensional buildings at on GE location. The model depicts Rome in the year 320 AD – at the peak of its development with over a million inhabitants. At this time it was the largest metropolis in the world and it wasn’t until Victorian London, 1500 years later, that another urban city surpassed Rome. Because of its size and importance, Rome may be one of the most-studied cities in history.
Google said that it is part of it’s continued effort to make exploration and learning about Ancient Rome both easy and fun. By loading this new layer in Google Earth, ” students, teachers, tourists and historians can:

Within the Ancient Rome 3D layer users can visit the Roman Forum, stand in the centre of the Colosseum, trace the footsteps of the gladiators in the Ludus Magnus, stand on the Rostra, swoop over the Basilica Julia, fly under The Arch of Constantine or even examine the detail on the facade of the Basilica of Maxentius.” The Press Release By Google Stated.
