View this LEGO® diorama of Ancient Rome
19 de març 2020
With LEGO® you can not only build incredibly beautiful things, you can also keep the past alive with our favorite toy. Previously you read about the train disaster of 1895 and this time we came across the next model of Ancient Rome. View this beautiful creation built by Rocco Buttliere.
Rocco designed this model of the capital of the Romans for the Museu da Imaginação (Museum of the Imagination). If you are in the area soon, you should definitely take a look. This diorama is 1 by 2 meters in size and consists of no less than 66,000 LEGO® parts.
This creation is full of details and you will find the temple of Jupiter, aqueducts, bath houses and of course the Colosseum. For the Colosseum, Rocco used LEGO® wands and LEGO® modified 1x1 plates in an ingenious way.
You can still visit the Colosseum in Rome, but in the case of a lot of other buildings you can only find ruins in the Roman Forum. Even a few remains of the Circus Maximus remain, but in the glory days of the Roman Empire, games were played here with 150,000 (!) Spectators. The Circus Maximus is of course also included in this creation.
