At the beginning of our era, Rome, home to a million inhabitants, was captivated by the Venationes - spectacles featuring wild beasts rather than gladiators. Lions, panthers, elephants, and bears were captured on the Empire’s frontiers with the help of legionnaires. What perilous routes did they take to transport their wild prey across Africa and Europe? By what extraordinary means were these dangerous animals brought back to Italy? And what traces remain of this practice today?
Through AI In Beasts of the Colosseum, AI opens a spectacular window onto history through scientifically grounded reconstructions generated from rigorously validated sources. Developed in close collaboration with leading experts such as historians Katia Schörle, Jordan Houston and Éric Teyssier, the film combines immersive storytelling with historical accuracy.
