According to Google, users can ‘visit the Roman Forum, stand in the centre of the Colosseum, trace the footsteps of the gladiators in the Ludus Magnus, stand on the Rostra, swoop over the Basilica Julia, fly under the Arc of Constantine, or even examine the detail on the facade of the Basilica of Maxentius.'

Google Earth Chief Technology Advocate, Michael Jones said, "For centuries, people all over the world have been fascinated by Roman civilization. We're delighted to share the culmination of years of work by scholars, historians, artists and others with Google Earth users around the world."
