Ancient Rome forever holds a place as one of the most impressive cities ever in the history of humankind. The architecture of the Roman Colosseum rivaled or surpassed even the most advanced modern stadiums. And the sport went far beyond today’s standards for majesty… and brutality. Rome was home to the great civilization of Julius Caesar and dynasties that spanned across the continents.

The empire has long since fallen but you can explore it now, just as it was centuries ago, in Virtual Reality using the Unimersiv app.

• The Colosseum

• The Arch of Constantine
• The Colossus of Nero
• The Circus Maximus
• The Palatine Hill

For all of these monuments, we will compare how they looked centuries ago to how they look today using high quality 360° pictures. This will give you the ability to compare Rome as it is today to the legendary Ancient Rome like never before.
