Milan – Mediolanum 380 AD approx
In the images below I have tried to reproduce an unprecedented Milan: my personal 3D reconstruction – very imaginative to tell the truth, although many monuments really existed and placed in the exact position where they were in Roman times.
I made this three-dimensional to get an idea of how life in the Mediolanum of the time could actually be, with brick or wooden houses, the imperial palace, the triumphal arch, the circus, the Herculean baths, the amphitheater , the theater, the temples scattered around the city, the doors, the Ambrosian basilicas (basilica martyrum, apostolorum, virginum and dei propheti) and more.
