For a potential "Capture the Wonder" victory, or even to just add some cool buildings to the map editor, a list of world "wonders" could be appropriate. This thread can serve as discussion and as a place to link various tasks.

Herod's Temple,  also known. There was already a project before, by Zerubbabel. It wasn't finished, maybe that's why it doesn't count as a second temple.

I choose Second Temple because it's more within the game's timeframe.

Nero had a colossus. I don't know if it was impressive.

It was impressive, just not as large as the Colossus of Rhodes.

I upscaled the sphynx which is already in the game. Could use some more geometry. The beard is missing and the head is too big compared to the body. Apart from that it already looks nice :)The texture doesn't seem as pixelated as expected.

Ara Pacis or Altar of Peace

The Ara Pacis Augustae (Altar of Augustan Peace) is a renowned monument in Rome, commissioned by the Senate in 13 BC and dedicated in 9 BC to honor Emperor Augustus’s return from Spain and Gaul. Located in the Campus Martius, it represents the "Pax Romana" through marble reliefs featuring imperial processions, mythological figures, and fertility scenes, symbolizing peace and prosperity.

If someone finds a CC0 model or relief texture let me know. We could ask this guy for permission:

Could augustus mausoleum as in the second video be another wonder? It has quite a unique shape.
