Ancient Rome: The Original Megacity

Rome was the first city to reach 1 million people. In 100 AD, it was the largest, most advanced urban center on Earth - and no other city would match it for over 1,700 years. In this video, I use AI to reconstruct Ancient Rome at its absolute peak. The Colosseum. The Pantheon. The Roman Forum. Trajan's Market. The aqueducts that brought 190,000 cubic meters of water daily. The insulae apartment buildings where 90% of Romans lived.
