Ever since when were Roman buildings not white? :/
Ever since all the bright paint wore off. This goes for Roman and Greek statues, too. They have scary blank eyes because the pupils and whatnot were once painted on.

So you're saying all the people in those cities would just stand there and watch the paint peel, doing nothing about it?

They could afford going to the baths all together. The native Romans lived richly and could afford luxuries such as painting a house.

There was an entire room in the British Museum dedicated to how they're using science to figure out what colors the buildings and statues were originally. They had a video and everything. I'm not just crazy this time.

The game, simply put, will be amazing.
Now stop bickering about what a trailer should look like and discuss this amazing game.
