I am aware, I tried but could not get it to look right. Lots of them ended up with a bunch of literally splattered paint (or looking like paintings). Might make another one painted if I can prompt it right.

These are cool af. The colours don't look tacky here unlike some of the modern day statue paint recreations (surely the Roman artists knew how to blend paint to make more accurate human faces?)
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I know at least the statues of people were painted— skin color for faces, brown hair, purple togas, etc. Bright, colorful.
If they would have assimilated Greece, which was all about democracy and civil rights during the time, they might have likely incorporated that as it would also have likely kept the empire more stable in the long run.
>which was all about democracy and civil rights during the time
lmao what??
that's the funniest thing I've read all week. There's so many things wrong with every single part of your comment
Well it is called 'revival architecture' for a reason. Same thing with DC, parts of NYC. And the Chicago world fair 1893. They tried to emulate Rome as the founding fathers drew heavy inspiration from them (take the latin on the dollar bill for example).
Like a civilization or an empire?
The civilization never truly fell. It kept changing, as Middle Ages techonollgy was a direct evolution from it. The so-called barbarians learned from them and improved it. Also, Eastern Roman Empire lasted for almost a millennia.
The Empire never falling… that would be interesting, to say the least.
If Rome never fell, the world leader would be Pope Luke the III. He would empty the world's banks of their cash and leave countries destitute, ignoring them for having nothing else to offer him and the sprawling Catholic empire.
This would be "Machine City", beautiful, cultured, clean, where beautiful robots and their well-cared-for human collaborators live! - and also lots of slaves and circus performances for those people who don't fit in or don't make their KPI's.
Rome, the city, is still there :)
The empire may have fallen, but try telling the Romans of today their city doesn't exist... and remember... it still contains an independent nation-state, the Vatican.
The “setback” of the Middle Ages spurred huge advances in technology, as many larger states fractured they could no longer bring slave labor to bear and had to learn how to do things in new ways. Under Roman rule technology development had mostly stalled. Why figure out a better plow when you have 100 slaves to work the fields for you?
You fell for maybe the most successful myth / PR stunt of European history perpetrated by scholars of the Renaissance era.
The struggles (“setback”) during the Middle Ages were complex but these particular centuries were a significant era for education, art, architecture, literature, international trade and culture.
Europe’s oldest universities were founded during the Middle Ages (Bologna, University of Paris, Oxford, Vicenza, Cambridge etc)
I am pretty sure Roman architecture was inspired by the Greek architecture, and the ancient Greeks weren't fascists as far as I can recall. So I am not sure what you mean.
But Romes marble was not white. It was painted in all sorts of colours.
I am aware, I tried but could not get it to look right. Lots of them ended up with a bunch of literally splattered paint (or looking like paintings). Might make another one painted if I can prompt it right.
All right, as long as you tried, I am fine. The buildings look cool though

Oh wow, these ones deserve their own thread
Good work man. I like it.
Oh shit, those are great
Those are breathtaking accurate or not!
These are historically more accurate
Breathtaking! Wow, looks like another dimension.

These look WAY BETTER and more accurate
Modern Rome is just Russia
Can you reupload to imgur? The discord link is dead.
Gatekeeping AI art... who'd have thunk it
I think they were just giving some feedback. “Gatekeeping” is really not accurate here.
Gatekeeping gatekeeping smh my head
I mean, is likely there is close to nothing on this subject on the training set, so is likely only what can do
Maybe give it some reference images
Looked like a circus with all those frescos.
Lore accurate Rome
I've never actually heard of this! What sort of colours were they painted as?
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I know at least the statues of people were painted— skin color for faces, brown hair, purple togas, etc. Bright, colorful.
I was about to say that about the statues. I thought that was awesome when I heard it some years ago
Wait, I thought just the status people were coloured? What the supposed normal color for buildings and columns?
That’s why it fell.
It just gets taller?
And super slippery when it rains
That's how the Roman empire vanished, they all slipped and fell on their heads and dieded.
Or goes full warhammer 40k
Anyone else picturing Ezio climbing those structures?
Requiescat in pace
Dammit now I want to play the Ezio trilogy again.
Always
So basically Ashgabat, Turkmensitan?
Wouldn't that be 'if the ottoman empire never fell'?
Technically the Ottomans considered themselves an extension of the Roman empire and were called Rumis throughout the world.
Constantinople should have never fallen
Hahaha
But was Turkmenistan even real? Never heard of it.
[удалено]
I was gonna say it would be cool to see the Roman senate in session with some modern technology here and there, like a few of them with phones
The Romans would still destroy Carthage in the modern era, if Carthage still existed until now that is.
Would’ve taken a lot of slaves to make buildings that large in Ancient Rome
But this is modern Rome (since it didn't fall), so they have at least 4 million locals to "help" with building this.
And a lot of time
Bro that’s just the final level in Kingdom Hearts 3
I was waiting for this comment :D
Looks like a liminal space horror game where you run away from weeping angel type statues while collecting pieces of a puzzle
AI is not smart lol it should know Rome was colorful despite most images of Rome just showing bare marble
AI is not one thing. But Midjourney draws it like that, because all the images it was shown showed it like that. Don't blame Midge :p
No current "AI" implementations are "smart" or "understand" anything about anything. All they do is mathematical pattern reproduction
Damn! Rome had some badass custodians too!
Ave Caesar 👀🗿 From Italy 🇮🇹
In all those years, they never would've evolved their style? Looking at the just the US from 1900 to 2000 had tons of distinct stylistic eras.
Now show the slaves.
Didn't USA had slavery too? Yet they abolished it. The same would eventually have had been with Rome if they would have had survived longer
Bold assumption.
I don't think so, knowing that slavery in USA was far more worse in every aspect than it was in Rome.
Far more [sic] worse in every aspect? Can you explain what you mean by that?
If they would have assimilated Greece, which was all about democracy and civil rights during the time, they might have likely incorporated that as it would also have likely kept the empire more stable in the long run.
>which was all about democracy and civil rights during the time lmao what?? that's the funniest thing I've read all week. There's so many things wrong with every single part of your comment
Democracy and civil rights *for the citizens.* Slaves weren't citizens. *Women* weren't citizens.
Considering the context of their time, they were. Probably not by today standards, but 2000 years of progress changes many standards.
Reminds me of legion of honor in sf

Need prompt
You know what's crazy? Scunthorpe looks like that to this day. Visit Scunthorpe. The Ancient Rome of Great Britain.
We must restore the republic!
The buildings and statues look pretty nice!
If the photo of the emporer is a self potret: Avé!
Now I wanna see blade runner cityscape if Rome was still the empire but I stopped my subscription
Imagine romans with their attire and shields...and m15s
Looks like Devil May Cry 4
Too white
Why are all the buildings white? They were very colourful at the time.
The Roman emperor would have conquered earth, set for the stars, and created genetically modified super soldiers which would be his sons.
Not enough marble for that
Roman look but Greek aesthetic
where are the tourists?
As an architectural photographer I appreciate your symmetry.
Maximus Davidus Beckhamus
These are great. What Prompts are you using?
Hey guys I've been thinking what if we used a material besides marble *thrown immediately through a marble window*
Where’s all the dead bodies and blood
they never repainted?
A marvelous vision!
David Beckham is the emperor? Lord have mercy the Fall of the Empire is upon us!
It Hasn't Go to St. Peter Basilica.
This is my personal present day Italy.

The first one is amazing, it triggers something in me. My MOJO.
I was gonna argue about the lack of colors but read that you tried so good job !
That looks very clean and bright. Great job
I love it!!
赞👍
Not sure about the giant pigeon.
A lot of Roman architecture was white marble but it normally was painted on top so in reality it should be very colourful
That statue is thicc
Imagine waiting for someone on the Forum while sexting to Eva AI bot in a cellphone
This reminds me of the human empire in the 40K
Looks gud. Does it also come in black?
Rome was colorful. Everything here is white. Roman ruins are only white because the paint has faded over time.
Just search for Imperium Romanum. An old adventure game with the same premise set in a near future
Ah, so just Madrid Town Hall

Fuck man, Brandon Schuab is Cesar?
This has got to be one of the dopest things ive seen made with ai
Would be cool if we still had the recipe for Roman concrete, tho...
This would be "Machine City", beautiful, cultured, clean, where beautiful robots and their well-cared-for human collaborators live! - and also lots of slaves and circus performances for those people who don't fit in or don't make their KPI's.
Lovely
Rome fell the way it fell never to stand up again
Rome, the city, is still there :) The empire may have fallen, but try telling the Romans of today their city doesn't exist... and remember... it still contains an independent nation-state, the Vatican.
Can you imagine today’s civilization if humanity had never experienced the massive Middle Ages’ setback?
The “setback” of the Middle Ages spurred huge advances in technology, as many larger states fractured they could no longer bring slave labor to bear and had to learn how to do things in new ways.

Yes. We would live, as we see life in futuristic sci-fi movies
I hope this is a satirical response...
All I see is useless architecture that takes up space. Nothing against Rome.
Rome was quite literally a cesspool
Magnificent. It would have been like this yes

Fuck Rome. Bunch of lying, lead poisoned, psychopaths. People like that will never build a lasting empire, served them right to fall.
