Well, revolving restaurants [0] were somewhat fashionable in the 1960s. Still, I don't think they quite compare with something made in the actual 60s (early christian era). The tech behind Nero's revolving diner was probably pretty bold at the time. But it doesn't sound so cool for someone who has motion sickness.

"The Sundial" on top of the Westin in downtown Atlanta has a revolving rooftop restaurant. Generally, these restaurants turn very slowly, like 1 full revolution in 30 minutes, which is not quick enough to evoke motion sickness, at least not compared to how much the 70 story, slender tower sways on a windy day.
