Ancient Rome in 3D for Google Earth

Google Earth has teamed up with the University of Virginia to produce a 3D rendition of Rome in the year 320AD featuring 250 "highly detailed" and 6000+ other buildings.

The modelling is based on a physical model of the city called the “Plastico di Roma Antica” created between 1933 and 1974. As well as exteriors, the virtual city displays 11 buildings with viewable interiors, including the Colosseum and the temple of Vesta.
