#Roman Build

[jg-sims-build]

A city of brick, a city of marble.

I finally built the shell of the Mamertine Prison. I moved and embellished two of the insulae and moved them to the foot of the Capitoline hill.  Also, I built a smaller version of the Porticus Deorum Consentium.

This basically begins the first of the actual street scenes leading into the city center and creates a very big contrast between the Augustan Forum in its splendor and the blighted lives of the Empire’s working classes. My next task is to sculpt and landscape the Capitoline hill then work my way outward to the other geographic features.

Myths, nation- and identity building are really fascinating because one thing I noticed in Europe is that no matter what kind you contact you had with the Roman Empire people are using it to build identity. "The Romans came here and here are some Roman buildings and roads and the name of this place is Latin in origin :D" vs "The Romans never conquered us in fact we absolutely beat the shit out of them :D"

do you think jason grace ever thinks about how new rome and, as an extension of it, the empire of the US perpetuates the same power imbalances/power hoarding and inequity that the old Roman Empire did and do you think he ever gets angry about how he was raised in that system to the extent that it is impossible to look at Neo-Classical New England buildings without his blood boiling? do you think he and annabeth share haunting feelings about the architecture of government buildings that were designed to emulate temples for gods that are just as fucked up and selfish as humans with too much power and control can be? does it give them chills, knowing the founding fathers were demigods, and that history is a cycle?

Nicola Pellati's House, Strevi, Piemonte, Italy,

This charming villa was built in the early 1600s when it served as the private residence of a prominent local bishop. It was later acquired by the family of Nicola Pellati, an architect and geologist who was among the most respected luminaries in his field during the 1800s.

The city of Rome as depicted in Latium so far, There are 18 lots that have been built up from the outside, plus another 6 lots that are empty and a previous build that hasn’t been added yet, for a total of 25 lots.

The districts shown are the Capitoline, the Forum (and the first of the build’s 2 Imperial Fora), and Subura.

The Capitoline Hill has been sculpted and will receive a few more edits (terrain paints and routing, more buildings, rocks and foliage) to complete it. As for the forum, only the Regia, residence of the Pontifex Maximus, hasn’t been built yet. With the right amount of lots, this place could look convincingly like the Eternal City in its heyday under Augustus and his dynasty, even if it’s in actuality several times smaller.
