The project discussed in this presentation forms an important part of the Rome Reborn Project, an international effort to create a real-time digital model of ancient Rome. The spatial limits of the Rome Reborn model will be the area enclosed by the late-antique Aurelian Wall; its temporal limits will be the Iron Age (10th century B.C.), when the city began to be settled, and the Gothic Wars (6th century A.D.), when the city suffered severe physical damage and significant depopulation. For a variety of practical reasons, work on the model commenced in 1997 with modeling of the late-antique phase (ca. 400 A.D.), which represents the climax of the development of the ancient city in terms of its urban fabric and population. The approach to modeling has been to work out from the city center in the Roman Forum, a multi-purpose space dedicated to political, economic, religious, and entertainment activities.

Abstract
The project discussed in this presentation forms an important part of the Rome Reborn Project, an international effort to create a real-time digital model of ancient Rome. The spatial limits of the Rome Reborn model will be the area enclosed by the late-antique Aurelian Wall; its temporal limits will be the Iron Age (10th century B.C.), when the city began to be settled, and the Gothic Wars (6th century A.D.), when the city suffered severe physical damage and significant depopulation. For a variety of practical reasons, work on the model commenced in 1997 with modeling of the late-antique phase (ca. 400 A.D.), which represents the climax of the development of the ancient city in terms of its urban fabric and population. The approach to modeling has been to work out from the city center in the Roman Forum, a multi-purpose space dedicated to political, economic, religious, and entertainment activities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
