5. Didn't the Romans paint their statues to be colorfully lifelike?

I heard they were not originally white - that happened after the thousand or so years before Europeans rediscovered Roman sculpture, during which time the paint vanished.

6. Yup.

Greek architecture and statues were colorfully painted, too.

7. Amazing perspectives. Thank you!

The interconnected and detailed reality always is better than the fragments we use to build beliefs.

9. Enjoyable; but...

I think they're indulging in a bit of poetic license. The one on Rome includes a building that appears to have at least a dozen floors, & the internet says 9 floors was the tallest.
