No, because then it wouldn't be ancient anymore.

What's wrong with modern Rome?

>>2309827
It's not ancient.

No, republic era Rome was a shithole. The Rome everyone regards as amazing was a Vampire who bled the provinces white.

The Rome that you larp about destroyed the union of the peoples within the Empire.

Nero set the seeds for the grapes of wrath that were wrought upon the west by marauding steppe barbarians.

it's owned by degenerate dagos who don't deserve to set foot on such grounds.

By now it has gotten so clogged with tourists, guides, travel agencies and souvenir shops that the actual city doesn't seem to be anything more than the background scenery.in disneyland.

Literally everything.

Modernized as in Rome as it is today?

I've been there a few times. Always amazing. The people are friendly and the food is fucking amazing. In Paris you'll pay $50 for 5 glazed scallops in a fancy platter and in Italy $50 will feed your family with plates of the most insanely delicious pasta that you could possibly imagine. One time I had a horse steak. One time I watched the guy pull up in his truck with freshly caught seafood and bring it right into his kitchen to cook and serve us seafood which couldn't possibly get any fresher. The nightlife is great. You'll get used to the sound of Italians playing Andrea Bocelli on repeat.

Careful around the Colosseum, though. Those guys dressed like Roman legionaries are total faggots and they'll sucker you into taking a picture with them and then demand you pay them for the pictures. Although part of me wonders if that's all part of the "Roman experience" because you get a tiny little dabble of the kind of behavior that Romans once exported all over Europe. The ruins never cease to amaze me.

But you wouldn't want to know actual Romans. They would have been primitive and barbaric by our standards. These were guys who got their rocks off watching wild animals tear open "criminals" who weren't even given a trial.

maybe if you're an uncreative dullard who doesn't know how to dodge all the trite bullshit and find the places that the natives are going too.

Er Piper?

That would be scary as fuck. Trump's america would be small time compared to that.

I'd live in it.

Why could the ancients build better than us? Why did cities all have a theme and architecture that went beyond form into despite only having iron-age technology while the modern world has information age technology and can only build disorganized glass boxes and plasterboard houses?
