"Talks are said to have begun with Linden Labs to make the entire simulation available on the internet through the company's virtual world Second Life. "
For anyone who missed that. I think this is very exciting. The educational uses of Second Life really haven't been used that much--there are some shining exceptions to this such as the NASA museum and the don't-visit-at-two-AM hallucinations project.
To be fair to the people who run the ROMA sim, while not on this grand scale, for private citizens without university funding, they've done a great job. And I have heard they have chariot races and gladiator contests, though I haven't personally been.
