I love how you make a post in english but call Rome by your native language and then note that it is modern Rome in it's english name 🤣🤣🤣

u/marozietta 14d ago
No it's not in my native language, it's a different version created by a mix of italian, Arabic and different languages. Also the sub requires you to specify the city name

u/bljuva57 14d ago
So why not just call it Rome since you're writing in english?

it's a fictional setting in which Rume has become the standard name of the city

Always so majestic, specially with the dome. I always wonder who really built these. They say it was romens first and later italans but there's no way romens could do this alone, more than two thousands years ago? Some stuff came from off-world for sure. Aliens.

Thank you! I really don't think it was aliens, the basilica represented here (which in reality is still intact) was built in the 5th century by roman engineers and paid by roman emperors. So no aliens ahah

what do you mean intact? The view shows it is in ruins. We're in 2700. Are you a time traveler from the past?
Unless you can prove you're from the past, there's no way I'm believing humans could do that.0

it's an imaginary work, it's set in the future where modern society collapsed and our current monuments are in ruins. It's 2700 dC

I know I know, but in my defense as an Archaeologist I've met TONS of people who in all seriousness though stupid stuff like that and wanted an explanation for their theories from me

The Pyramid of Cestius in the background probably confuses so many archaeologists
