And why they're superior to the Nordic.
Interested in reconstructions of ancient roman cities and sites? I have so many of them.

Yes greco-roman architecture is truly the greatest.

aren't you that afrocentrist guy?
I mean, I like this thread, but why would a guy like you honor ancient rome? Wtf? Or do you believe that you were dem kings an sheit in ancient rome, too?
Romans were europeans, not africans
I've actually been quite proud of being Mediterranean of late. Ever since I was looking at Aryan skull structures and found I fit the Mediterranean one more than the nordic one. Realised I look like the cunts back in the roman days. Its a good feel.
truly amazing that this was over 2000 years ago, holy cow
>>55938921
same here
proud to be a med yuro.
Ave, brother, where you from?
>>55938874
I'm not afrocentrist and I'm franco-italian so it's logical for me to admire the civilization of my forefathers.
>>55939008

OP's sentence is politically incorrect though.
>>55940241
well you have Ctesiphon and there were more persians and iranian cities but thanks to arabs that dont exist
>a human was able to sculpt this from stone by hand
What are you doing with your life?
>>55936691
This is ancient Ostia right?
Here it is today.
>>55935319
And the Med is a part of the wider Eurasian world.
>>55940755
Learning academic drawing which is heavily inspired by ancient art =^)
>>55940241
>http://www.ancient.eu/Roman_Architecture/
but those cities look heavily hellenic, just look at alexandria and you wont see any difference
>>55940755
>What are you doing with your life?
wishish i just could back in time
>>55940949
Greco-Roman architecture is a thing. Deal with it.
>>55940943
can you post the arial view from ancient rome city pls
>>55941084
>Deal with it.
im just saying its looks more hellenic than anything
also are you italian or black from east africa?
>>55941092
Jean has surprisingly only made one aerial view drawing from Rome and it's from the Late Empire period.
>>55941163
What makes you think that I'm black from East Africa?
>>55941092
There's a giant model of the city in one of the Museums there.
>>55941605
you are the egypt guy
and i think i read in a thread that you said you are east african
>>55941731
>>55941758
>you said you are east african
Never. I'm franco-italian from Savoy.
Anyone else here have Mediterranean Thelasimia? I just found out I have it, the crazy part is I didn't even know I had Mediterranean blood in me
You are probably not even related to the people who built all this.
You are the offspring of barbarians, pretending to be Roman. You destroyed the very civilizations you're trying to take credit for.
Nordic countries right now are superior. Italy is pretty nice, but that's where it stops. Other Mediterranean countries are not even worth mentioning today. Filled with shitskins and lazy scum.
>>55940915
I've been there was quite interesting picked up a few bits of pottery.
>>55935319
>And why they're superior to the Nordic.
Stop with that bullshit. We are all europeans, we are all suffering the same. We are all brothers and should act like brothers.
>>55942306
>You are probably not even related to the people who built all this.
>You are the offspring of barbarians, pretending to be Roman
How do you know? DNA says another story.
>You destroyed the very civilizations you're trying to take credit for.
>You
Who? What are you even talking about?
>Nordic countries right now are superior
>superior
In what way? Architecture? Culture? History? Language? lol no
>Other Mediterranean countries are not even worth mentioning today
Such as?
I know that you're upset by the fact that Estonia had no history prior to the danish conquest during the middle ages but there's no need to pathetically attempt to mock the greatness of mediterranean countries. Now dry those tears.
>>55942306
>Italy is pretty nice, but that's where it stops. Other Mediterranean countries are not even worth mentioning today.
You obviously dont know shit about Spain.
>muh economy
Jew pls.
>>55943041
All I'm saying is stop trying to take credit for 2000-year-old achievements, because the people that made that shit are probably not even your ancestors. They don't even look the same as the modern Mediterraneans. You're like niggers with this shit.
>WE WUZ KINGS AND SHIET
or muslims
>muh mathematics
>muh sailing
While their own countries are currently the worst imaginable shitholes. Today is what matters, because that's what you're directly responsible for.
>>55941944
so you arent black and dont have any relation with them?
>we wuz kings canakek posting pictures of the greatest empire in the world
>>55943406
>take credit for 2000-year-old achievements
Not taking credit, simply admiring and marvelling at the works of my forefathers.
>are probably not even your ancestors
DNA tells another story.
>They don't even look the same as the modern Mediterraneans
They were all nordic aryans right? Well meme'd.
inb4 muh blonde greek gods and heros
>Today is what matters
Yes and so does history which mustn't be forgotten, sorry pal.
>>55943406
>They don't even look the same as the modern Mediterraneans.
[citation needed]
>Today is what matters
John Oliver is that you?
Oh fuck I just realized it's not even a Mediterranean doing all the dickwaving. It's a diet American. Doesn't matter anyway.
>>55943406
this we was kings meme has to stop. I hear only white people saying this shit anymore. I never here black people saying this shit.
>>55943808
>It's a diet American
See >>55941944
>>55942306
>Nordic countries right now are superior
lol
this desilusion
from here i can smell your envy
>>55938326
a halfnigger is your president...
>>55943965
what's that big golden statue on the right side?
>>55943489
I'm neither canadian nor part of ''we wuz kingz'' minuscule twitter crowd.
>>55944370
Not sure but maybe a statue of Domitian in the image of Sol Invictus.
OP, I'm an ethnic Greek.
You're aware we hate niggers and mudslimes and other such trash more than northern europeans right?
Hilarious when you niggers try and bring us onto your side. We've been on the side of western civilization since 500BC m8.
You guys think if an earthquake never happened on the colosseum, it would be used today?
>>55935319
I'm interested in insulas/roman apartment buildings. Were they the most common type of building?
>>55945866
>The insulae could be up to six or seven stories high, and despite height restrictions in the Imperial era, a few reached eight or nine stories
>>55946178
He's an anti-European faggot.
I won't insult other Europeans like he does.
>>55935319
daaaaaaamnnn
and think that we, the black people build all of that
SHEEEEEIIIITT

How?
>insult other Europeans
When did I?
>>55946523
do you even know to read?
>>55942306
Sup' Scandinavia... oh wait.
>>55945866
It's fucking crazy how similar they look to a lot of later Southern European apartment buildings, and even some in Mitteleuropa.
Obviously it wasn't done consciously as very few insulae survived. Must just be racial memory.
>>55946795
>do yo even bait m8?
>>55943451
>you forget to explain to 'muricans: that is basically the nascar of romans.
>>55943451
Rome seemed so much cooler than Ancient Chinese cities.
>>55937142
pasta nigger
>>55947432
>Ancient Chinese cities.
really?
this one looks cool
>>55937349
That's a weird looking παστίτσιο you've got there.
>>55939055
Afrocentrist are freaking nuts with no resemblance to reality, unlike European civilisations.
Divide and conquer garbage at it's best.
I'm curious as to why do Greek and Roman sculptures look very thin in facial features similar to Nords though. The only difference is being the head shape.
