Gaius Octavius Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) Maybe you can see The Colosseum with this: http://by122fd.bay122.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-...f7615a885ff8634 Sorry, there is some sort of an error above and I don't know how to delete the whole message. Try Google. It is supposed to be something new. Edited February 21, 2007 by Gaius Octavius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Neil Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) The Google Earth thing is really great, and it does indeed show the colloseum perfectly - and several other places of interest. Turn to the 'gallery' section of this forum, flick back to page 4 of the Roman section, for some interesting results I obtained a few months back. To me the most interesting views are of Italian towns where the amphitheatres have been totally covered by later buildings, but still retain their plans - such as the arena at Lucca, and the Piazza Navona in Rome. The little known amphitheatre at Pozzuoli (Napoli) is particularly staggering in its beauty. Problem is, it has 'high res' areas, and 'low res' ones. Hadrian Wall is in a low res area, apart from its eastern end. Again, the mighty arena at Verona shows up just as a tantalising eliptical blur. EDIT: Following the entry of an image of the theatre at Amman, it is now on page one. Edited February 22, 2007 by Northern Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecimusCaesar Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I use Google Earth too, I've even pinned a few ancient sites of intrest- the colosseum- for instance. It is a shame that numerous areas are low-res as I would have liked to see more places. I heard that both the USA and Germany have been mapped entirely. Hopefully the UK will be up next.
