So? Are you one of ours?
Within the ricostruzione of the Circus Maximus in Virtual Reality 5 different menus will allow you to take a journey back in time from the origins of Rome to the days of its maximum splendour. Listen to the story told, imagine that you are there and live Rome like you have never done before. The 5 reconstructions are:
Put on the VR viewer and set out to discover the territory of Rome at the time of its foundation. A bare valley, with woods, springs and small villages of huts that inhabited the Seven Hills of Rome. It is April 21st 753 BC. and here goes Romulus, who with the plow, pulled by oxen, traces the "pomerium", the sacred and inviolable border of the city in an anti-clockwise direction around the Palatine Hill. It will be this valley, the Murcia Valley, the seat of the largest and most impressive amphitheater of all time: the Circus Maximus.
In the second step here is the completely transformed Murcia Valley. You are in the era of the Tarquini kings, when Rome looks like a real urban center. The Circus Maximus is taking shape. Simple wooden seats, sometimes movable, and a long central median, the spine, around which the wagons turned. On the side opposite the Circus, the River Tiber. Here the ancient roads of communication and the commercial exchanges of livestock and agricultural products took place. The area takes the name of Foro Boario. Around the hills begin to host the first important temples, such as the one on the Capitoline Hill, dedicated to Jupiter Capitoline, protector of the city.
You are in the 3rd century AD. Rome is now a world power as well as one of the most beautiful cities ever. The Circus Maximus reaches its maximum splendor and you can see it rising in front of your eyes. Press the controller and virtually walk through the streets of the city of Rome. Take the Via Appia Antica; wandered around the tabernae of the city; scrutinize every single corner; observe in the distance the frame of the majestic Colosseum and once the story is over, go in search of 5 luminous spheres scattered around the city. Each of them refers to something in particular and each of them has a story to tell.
Look around you. You are inside the Circus Maximus. The crowd, awakened at dawn, has now taken its place in the stands; the betting counters are open. Everything is ready to start! Hear the trumpets in the distance and stand still to observe the Pompa Circensis. The emperor triumphantly enters the track. Behind him the chariots that will participate in the race; musicians; dancers and other ornamental quadrigae. A majestic parade, one that was hardly ever seen in Rome. With this act, the emperor took his place on his podium and, raising his right hand, began the games.
Now it's your turn. He puts on the headset for the last time and run. Choose the color of the faction (the team); choose the color of the horse; wait for the number of the carcere from which you will leave will be extracted. Hold the controller firmly. When the white handkerchief hits the ground the gates will open. Then? Are you ready? Goiii! Run! Run without stopping. Don't look back! He overtakes his opponents. Watch out for the curves. He bends his body and turns. Oh no! You fell. Get up strong, you still have 7 laps to complete to win the first prize. Wipe off the sweat. The emperor is watching you. You have to win his will. Come on, don't get distracted. Will you be able to win 1 million sesterces and the laurel wreath?
Together with your companion, retrace the milestones of one of the most important amphitheaters ever.
A Virtual Reality experience of about 2 H to discover. Start comfortably seated in the exact area from which the story will start and end your journey in Ancient Rome from the carceres: the gates from which the chariots left.
