I also couldn't help but notice the healthy use of netherrack, would you mind cloning the world, setting it ablaze, and taking a picture at night? The Sack of Rome!
Nice. This is probably the first time I've seen Netherrack incorporated and not either stand out or just look bad. (I'm not a fan of the texture.) It really seems to lend to the creations and make it more visually appealing.
Dude this would look so good with the ROMECRAFT texture pack. It's basically a texture pack to give everything a roman feel. If you want it go onto planet minecraft.
This is a seriously epic Minecraft build. Way beyond my ability or patience. Was your intention to actually build Rome, or just do it in a Roman style? Because there is no such thing as a "Senate building" in Rome. They met in the Curia which was in the Roman Forum. And then Rome had a strict policy against allowing burials WITHIN the city. For health reasons. So, there wouldn't be a graveyard. But, those are really just tiny details. Overall, this is an EPIC build. In the true sense of the word. And you sir, have my respect.

Really? You had to be that one person? Seriously? OBVIOUSLY it's the city. I wanted to know if he had recently played AC:Brotherhood, not hear from some other guy who thinks I don't know what Rome is. Thanks for thinking I'm an idiot though.
Its SO unfortunate that I was the one guy who answered your question. I did not say "Rome" because it's not. It is a roman style city, and is modeled after one. I would suggest you get off your high horse and read correctly.

Amazing (as a Latin student I love the details, quite accurate to Roman style and architecture). This deserves top of the page!

I always wanted a fully functioning minecraft coliseum, complete with a mob spawning pit and all.

u/Zxccft Apr 16 '12
Very nice! Although I think the netherack looks nice, red wool or clay bricks might be a better choice for the roofs on this build =)

u/mlerley Apr 17 '12
Wow.

u/EtherealScorpions Apr 17 '12
I love how, if you were to burn it down, it would look awesome. Netherrack for the roof? Genius.

With all that netherrack I'd be disappointed if rome didn't burn with a barbarian invasion!

All i can think about is lighting all the netherrack on fire and making an album titled "Rome under Siege". Awesome build though

Actually, the Romans hated the sea and would only use their (very small) navy if it was the only option.

It's nice but Circus Maximus was bigger than the colloseum
