After nearly a year of research, planning and building, the visual result is a
Ancient Rome map, reconstructed in Minecraft on an area of 1000m x 200m. Which extends from the Ludus Magnus in the east up to the Temple of Concordia in the west,

Each building stands in the place where it once stood. According to the dimensions of the real buildings, ( a in-game "normal" Minecraft block = 1 metre ). The most significant characteristics of the real buildings are part of the reconstruction.The landscape is partially taken into account.

The buildings are: Ludus Magnus, Amphitheatrum Flavium, Via Sacra, Arch of Constantine, Meta Sudans, Colossus Solis, Temple of Venus and Roma, Arch of Titus, Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine, House of the Vestals, Temple of Iuppiter Stator, Regia, Temple of Vesta, Temple of Antonius Pius and Faustina, Arch of Augustus, Temple of Divus Iulius, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Basilica Aemilia, Shrine of Cloacina, Basilica Iulia, Seven Honorary Columns, Lacus Curtius, Column of Phocas, Lapis Niger, Rostra, Curia Iulia, Secretarium Senatus, Arch of Septimus Severus, Ubilicus Urbis Romae, Milliarium Aureum, Mundus, Temple of Saturn, Temple of Vespasian, Temple of Concordia, Forum Iulium, Basilica Argentaria, Temple of Venus Genetrix, Porticus Dei Consentes, Cloaca Maxima, Argiletum,
