Google has announced the launch of an ancient Rome 3D layer in Google Earth.

In conjunction with the Rome Reborn Project, everyone in the world can now travel through time and discover Ancient Rome as it was 1688 years ago.

The project includes more than 6700 buildings of Ancient Rome rebuilt in 3D as they would have appeared in 320 AD.
