2008 Update 1: It's been upgraded and is now Rome Reborn 2.o / Gallery. It can also be viewed on Google Earth 4.3, but I personally find this complicated. (courtesy N.S. Gill)
In my recent review of Ancient Rome on Five Denarii a Day by Philip Matyszak I referred to its illustrations by Altair 4 Multi-Media Roma.

This initial site version (4th century A.D.) is only the beginning of an undertaking that will span the time from the Bronze Age (c. 1000 B.C.) to A.D. 552. However, what is there so far, is well worth exploring in depth. Also, under Resources, there are recommended sites on Roman Topography, from Piranesi to Platner’s Topographical Dictionary (best seen at LacusCurtius’ TOPOGRAPHIA URBIS ROMÆ) to current versions.
