So If things changed AFTER the War of the Ring, it is likely that they changed BEFORE the War of the Ring.Īfter all, the Lord of the Rings is supposed to be an account by a few Hobbits, who had their own incomplete information, agenda and viewpoint. Yet he hints that things changed greatly under King Ellesar (Aragorn), and that Minas Tirith Grew, Osgiliath was re-built, and a new city was founded in Ithilien by Faramir (near his old hideout). Tolkien only gives us a few cities, and he obviously has a prejudice against cities.Īnd he tends to suggest that Middle Earth remains in stasis, never changing. This got me thinking about the cities of Middle Earth. Not to mention the Fires that swept through the city of Rome (and other Italian cities), and the earthquakes. The city seems to have changed pretty drastically, with building programs all through the Republic, up to the programs of the Emperors (of different scales).
Has anyone looked at a map of the City of Rome?
