Google is bringing ancient Rome to modern-day life by opening a detailed virtual tour of the city, for history and tech buffs alike to explore.

The Ancient Rome offering is brought to us via the popular Google Earth software, and allows users to view ancient Rome as it is thought to looked in 320 AD, complete with over 6,500 buildings that stood at the time. Some even offer interior views.

As with regular Google Earth cities, users have the ability to zoom in and out, enjoying the city at a variety of levels. Google also provides informational blurbs for users to read in regards to a variety of the structures.

It will be interesting to see if this is a one time thing for Google, of if they will continue to build more online ancient cities in the coming months. Personally, I’d be interested in seeing an ancient Chinese city.
