Neat!

 

Excellent

 

That's the cliche my father always muttered.........

 

The problem with all these models is that they make Rome way too clean. If I were building an accurate model of ancient Rome I'd have to add tons of graffiti to the walls of every public building. There would have to be some raw sewage and plenty of garbage in street corners. Some of the older temples might look a little disheveled, with paint pealing off... and there would be signs of multiple repairs over the centuries.

However, I will give this particular model a pass because it is a physical representation in miniature of the entire city. Therefore there will be some limitations in the amount of detail one could possibly represent. But I wouldn't be as kind to a digital version that shows Rome at the ground level without any of the dirt and graffiti.
